Two:
- "The Dispossessed" by Ursula le Guin, which I read years ago but takes on new meaning during the current 'global financial crisis'
- "My Name is Red" by Orhan Pamuk, a "murder mystery" set in the 1590's. Just started that on recommendation from my wife, who is more "Cultured" and well read than me; whereas I am "Kultured".
