The Five People You Meet in Heaven
by: Mitch Albom
Suppose, when you die you meet five people on your way to heaven.
Five people that were for some reason important in your life. Or you to them. You get one more chance to talk to them. Who will you meet? What will you say to them? What will you ask?

Skipping Christman
by: John Grisham
What if you decided not to take part in all the Christmas festivities. What if you didn't go along with all the fund raisers and didn't put up your Rudolf on top of your roof like the rest of the street? Are you a spoilsport, someone who lets down the community or are you brave, an individual?
Both funny and witty. About conformity versus group pressure. And Christmas of course.
Also known as: "Christmas with the Kranks".

Never Let Me Go
by: Kazuo ishiguro
At the heart of thios story lies a fundamental question of ethics. How far can we go? How far can we allow science to take us?
We watch the events unfold through the eyes of a group of young people. From the beginning it is clear that there is a mystery and that these children aren't told everything. Why for instance are they supposed to be special? Why aren't they allowed to leave the grounds? One step at a time we find out what is going on and as the horrible truth becomes clear, so does the question of how far we can go.
