Please recommend a book

Since I've arrived in Nijmegen, I've read The Road (Cormac McCarthy), The Human Stain (Philip Roth) and The Lost Symbol (Dan Brown). This last one, by the way, I didn't like.
I don't have any book now. Could you please recommend something? Either in english or Portuguese.
thanks

Not all classics are good

In the vein of my thirst for classics that started a couple of years ago, I saw West Side Story last night. And it was important, because I realized that not all classics are good. I actually did not like the film. And it's not that I don't like musicals, because The Sound of Music is one of my personal favorites and it is by the same director (Robert Wise). So, it's not that. It's just that the film is boring, the plot is a very loose, very weak adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. The choreographs are poor, with the exception of the musical number: Cool. The acting is pitiful. The lyrics are not inspiring (except for Gee, Officer Krupke). Some of the musics are catchy like I Feel Pretty, and some are beautiful and classic like Maria (I just met a girl named Maria...), but all in all, most of the times I felt bored by the movie. I do not recommend it but I can totally understand those who may like it. It just didn't feel right.

Book #2 - The Road (Cormac McCarthy)

And finally, I have a second book for the list.
I've just finished reading it and I read in less than a week. It's a less than 200 page-tale about a post-apocaliptical journey taken by a father and his young son over a period of several months, across a landscape blasted by an unnamed cataclysm that destroyed all civilization and, apparently, most life on earth.
It amazed me by how the book completely stands on great writing. the plot is ridiculously simple, yet so powerful. The writing to support this kind of plot is necessarily rich. However, what I liked it most was how parsimonious was some of the writing. With just a few words, I could imagine the whole situation and how I would feel in such a situation. It is definitely intense and made me question very much about I would react in a situation like that. And in this sense, i agree with one review (By George Monbiot) that goes like this
"A few weeks ago I read what I believe is the most important environmental book ever written. It is not Silent Spring, Small Is Beautiful or even Walden. It contains no graphs, no tables, no facts, figures, warnings, predictions or even arguments. Nor does it carry a single dreary sentence, which, sadly, distinguishes it from most environmental literature. It is a novel, first published a year ago, and it will change the way you see the world". I agree.
Enjoy!
