Ok...I have no idea why anyone would care what books I have read in the past 5 years...but in case someone is looking for a good book to read:
1) Watership Down: Goo book on society and how people react. I heard that this is actually a British middle school book, but it is a great read once you get use to the fact you are reading about rabbits.
2) The Life of Pi: I really got into this book...it takes a good look at religion and man's able to deal with events...great twist also.
3) The Road: This is the bleakest book I have ever read...void of any hope whatsoever. I love post-apoc books and this one is one of the best.
4) All Is Quiet On The Western Front: I am usually not a big war buff...but I love this book. It is funny how man's basic needs come out...shelter & food...when put in horrible situations. Also a great look at the stupidity of war.
5) Cat's Cradle: The best of Vonnegut. Looks at society and man's need for a purpose.
6) Hand Made Earth: This is another post-apoc...from the guy who is constantly talking about peak-oil. It shows how people have to live much more like we did in 1890 is the gas stops flowing. The funny thing is it isn't that bad.
Ok...there is a few.

The Road was the worst book I've ever read in my life. The "ultimately beautiful" ending I heard about was garbage. I can't imagine a more depressing book.
