I'm a student from abroad who studies English. I'm going back to my country at the end of this febrary. I would like to buy a book writen in English by that time.
Im looking for a representative book I can have a deep understanding about contemporary culture of United Kingdom. it is better if the book puts focus on mentalities of young people in uk.

doesnt matter about format of the book but I prefer novels.
