Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
#7
RE: Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
1984 was exponentially better than Animal Farm. It should be listed under horror, though. *shudders*

If heavy reading is what you are doing, I would suggest Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky. It's like wading through molasses, but it is damn good in a creepy, depressing Russian way.

Lord of the Flies by William Golding, if you haven't read it yet. Light reading, heavy content.

David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. It's the best of all of them, if you ask me. Heavy reading. You could kill someone with that book, I think.

Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut Not difficult to read.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury -- Holy shit this is a good book. Very light reading. It is not long at all, but damn is it creepy. Very Orwellian.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee -- another easy one with some damn good content. This is an absolute must read.

Sorry to suggest so many. I could never have suggested one.
