Geert Mak - In Europe
a must read for anyone who is interested in the history of europe (and the effect on its people) in the 20th century, it's a quite addictive book!

Blew me away mate! Really exciting and i thought the way he presented his research was gud because he let you come to your own conclusions, rather than
"Right, this happened, then that, and then this but they told us that happened instead so.... it must be aliens!"

Sort of depends on your interests and all that. 'Island' is my favorite because it asks the question, what if you can create a new, more utopian society - but still have neighbors that have not achieved the same? What might such a society look like? It was the last novel Huxley wrote and he's in peak form [imho].
'Doors of Perception' and 'Heaven & Hell' are often sold together since they're both pretty short: they're not fiction, but essays on psychedelics, particularly mescaline. I credit the latter with turning me on to the amazing renaissance composer Gesualdo as well as having interesting insights into stuff like medieval religious art and how it relates to the broader spectrum of visionary experiences.
Haven't read all of his novels (or all his anything for that matter, man wrote a lot) but 'Point Counter Point' is a decent read too, a little more melodramatic. It's structured like a musical work, emphasizing - go figure - counterpoint.
