Hi thank you for recommending the books. You have told these are related to social working. I also think that these will be helpful for social working. So thanks again for the name of the books.

I stated APART from social work ... but on the other side, may be some will be even interesting in the context of social work (though most will prolly not )

You definitely list some classics there. Personally Im not much of a book reader, more an internet reader. But some books that come to my mind that are related to society at large, not so much social work are the following:

Todd Strasser - The Wave
Aldous Huxley - Brave New World
Friedrich Schiller - Wilhelm Tell
Orson Welles - 1984
