The Mole Poeple by Jennifer Toth
So far, The Mole People has been an excellent insight on the underground world that lies beneath New York City. Toth gets up close and personal with the residentsof differt undergroundf cities, telling the stories of veterans and people just moving into this new world. Toth digs down deep to uncover the mysteries behind each person. I just read about a man named Mac who has never left the tunnel and him and his group are collecting guns to fight off other rival gangs. He also needs body guards to protect him from danger. This book is a great read and I am only just starting it and can't wait to read more.

Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
During WW2 a young pilot and his squadron are sent to a random island where they have to endure dangerous missions and risk their lives every day. But this young pilot, Yossarian, is no ordinary pilot. Yossarian is smart but insanity soon gets to him as he finds out the only way to leave the island is to complete a certain number of missions but as time goes on the number gets higher and higher. They are put in life threatening situations and believe there is someone that always wants to kill them. As the battles rage on numerous sub-plots emerge and just make the nightmare of a life they are living only worse. The war gets to Yossarian's head and he goes mad only to realize that the only way to survive is to abandon the army, and the rules of Catch-22. This is an excellent book and gives you a new perspective on how you view the true underbelly of the world.
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
Just returned the book to the library, couldn't stop crying. Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy was a witty and excellent insight on what goes on in the far and distant reaches of space and telling us the "real" meaning of life, 42. Arthur is just your regular British man, but his best friend, Ford Perfect, is not. As the Earth is about to be demolished for an intergalactic highway, Ford takes Arthur onto one of the ships and this starts their hitchhiking adventure around the galaxy to complete the greatest book ever thought up, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. This book is a great read and I recommend it to all readers, human or not.
