1984 is an amazing book.
I'd have to say either Wild Swans or Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee.
Both are incredibly written and are particularly to my taste as they are both linked closely to history. Another book would be Memoirs Of A Geisha - a book that the film absolutely destroyed.
Yeah, it's not often you're forced to read a book in college and you learn to love it but that's happened to me with all the books I've read on my course. Oryx and Crake, 1984, Tess of the d'Ubervilles and Brave New World. :)Quote:

I've read Nineteen Eighty Four...almost lol I got really far to the end and just gave up but the storyline was really good, Orwell's an amazing writer. The part where the character, (I've forgotten his name) goes into room 101 - ooer lolQuote:

My favourite novel would probably have to be Of Mice and Men by Steinbeck. Ever since I read it at school I've loved it and the ending is so sad.
1984 was pretty good I thought, and it is a great perception of what life is now.
2001: A Space Odyssey was also amazing, yet incredibly confused and hard to perceive the exact meaning of the book.
I don't really read, but I really enjoyed 'Good Night Mr Tom' along with the film :).
I really enjoyed "The curious incident of the dog in the night time"
It's a really good book about a child with a disability who lives with his dad (he is told his mum is dead), then later on he find's out his mum is alive and goes in search of her.
It's really good you should read it
