Another book besides Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse 5 that gave me an emotional connection to the firebombing of Dresden is "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" by Jonathan Safran Foer. Connecting Dresden with 9/11 may be problematic, even preposterous to some, but the style of the book and the author deeply impressed me.
The most relevant literature regarding what happened since September 11, 2001 is George Orwell's "1984".
