Since you mention graphic novels in the tag and post, a few that are worth picking up if you haven't already done so: Palestine (Joe Sacco): A really well-done (IMO) look at the situation in Palestine in the early 1990s. Fairly intense and political. Fun Home (Alison Bechdel): Probably one of the most 'literary' graphic novels I've encountered, both in the sense of having a lot of text and using a lot of really neat techniques to convey a pretty great, deeply personal story. I've also heard good things about Persepolis, but haven't read that. Obviously Maus and Watchmen are worth getting if you've not read those yet, though I expect that you probably have.
