8) The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot DÃaz
A story that documents the life of Oscar, a Domincan-American boy living in New Jersey, who searches for love but finds writing instead. Hiro recommends this book to readers who identified with the narrative style of Holden Caulfield from "Catcher in the Rye".
"It's slang, authentic, easy to like," Hiro said. "It deals with issues of ethnicity in modern America and awakens you to the identity of politics working in modern America."
