Veronika Decides to Die - Paulo Coelho (1998)

A book on iconoclasts. Veronika is born and brought up in a perfect environment. Life has no challenge for her and she decides to die. Later this makes her land up in a mental hospital and here she discovers an alternative to living, a struggle as she has been warned that she will die in couple of days and ultimately she finds the love which makes her yearn for life.

An excellent book written to make you think beyond the obvious.
