The Giver

The Giver by Lois Lowry is set in a control-based society where all decisions are made for you. The size and type of your family, your profession, your friends, etc. In such a controlled society, a young boy by the name of Jonas receives the assignment to be "The Receiver" wherein he receives memories and feelings from on old man called The Giver. Discover with Jonas the meaning behind color, feelings, happiness and joy, and the decisions we must make because we know these things.
This is a short book, and it's quite the classic, but I really enjoyed it. There's lots of symbolism as to how you can perceive the ending, but that's another thing I like about the book; its open-endedness changes the whole tone of the book.
