Blindness by José Saramago

But don't read it at face value it's really an allegory.

Sounds really interesting. While reading about the story on Wikipedia, I saw that there is a second part called Seeing. Definetly want to see what everything means.

The second one isn't as good though.

The first one is amazing although a bit hard to read, both due to its writing style and content.
