Author Comments:
As you can see this is very slanted toward Utopian/distopian works, I'd like to get away from that. I also want to try and get away from books they may have already read for school in earlier grades. I'd like to get the list to 35 or 40 really good government related books.
Here are a couple:
The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum by Heinrich Böll
The Plot Against America by Philip Roth
