Class Matters by correspondents of the New York Times
If you really want to be bored, read this book. Lots of symbolism and hidden messages, not really my thing. Had to read it for an honors class; it was even harder to write a paper on. Please, I really wouldn't read this if you're a teen. Maybe when you're older (then I think one would enjoy it).

Here's How Mazda Built its Rotary Engine (article) by Raphael Orlove
This was a very interesting article, because I didn't know a lot about rotary engines beforehand, and this gives insight into Mazda's innovation and how they were able to apply that tech to their sometimes very fuel-efficient vehicles, or extremely powerful vehicles that dominated the import JDM racing scene and gave way to a revolution. The author, Raphael Orlove, is able to find a way to convey the message and information of rotary engines in a fun and descriptive way.

Loki by Mike Vasich
I've read Loki three times now. It is a great book and captivates me with the way that it blends mythology, action, and magic into a wonderful story.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
It's really good; I enjoyed it very much. It touched base with many important issues, from back then to today's society.
