The Recommendation Thread - Looking for a new read?

I am not a big reader but I'm looking for a book with some kind of social message or philosophy.
A book with a realistic (or somewhat realistic) story and rather short (less than 300 pages).
I'm looking for something like The Giver or Jude by Kate Morgenroth (but a bit more mature).

From what you just said, I think "Animal Farm" by George Orwell would fit the bill quite nicely. While the book is somewhat unrealistic in that it involves talking animals, the farm is meant to be a metaphor for society and the book does have an obvious philosophy on society itself. Plus the book is right around 100 pages long.

Thank you for the suggestion!
