1984 by George Orwell, I'm trying to remember whether we were recommend - actually as I'm thinking about it now, I believe it was recommended when we were still in high school. I had heard about the book prior to that, where people were mentioning 1984, didn't really understand what they were talking about. And that book I enjoyed highly.
It's one of those books where it's just essentially timeless, not a matter of you're watching television, which is what we have now. The television literally watches you. Big Brother can see what you're doing. Thought Police - that whole term came from 1984.
I would think for somebody to read 1984 by George Orwell, I think it is a great book for high school. We were recommended the book in high school, and I think that is a very perfect time. I would highly give five stars. It is an absolutely brilliant book. And it is just so dense; you can always go back to it and find other things in it that really relate to things personally and things that are going on around you.
