The last book I read outside of school was Anthem by Ayn Rand. It's pretty much about this futuristic community where, no one has names and you are not any better than anyone else. You can't do anything independently, only as a group , you can't take the credit for anything, and if you did, you'd be punished. You were not allowed to love anyone. Although the main character "Equality 7-2521" stepped out of the box, loved who he wanted, overcame difficulties and became independent, broke away from the community and lived his life with the one who he wanted to love.
It's a pretty good book if you can just get over the first few chapters.
