Maybe, it's too banal for native speakers, still i would highly recommend Uncle Tom's Cabin. This story is so shocking but at the same time so inspiring.

Also i like Patrick Süskind's Perfume. It's a book i couldn't put down.

John Steinbeck's - "The Pearl"

The Vikings and America. Much of it exposes bogus evidence of Viking settlements in North America. However, now that I've made it near the end it gets a little more factual- plausible evidence in Canada of a Viking settlement ca. 1000 years ago. In all honesty, though, I look forward to finishing this book and moving on to more spiritual topics.
