    Oh god. My favorite is a three way tie between that, The Scarlet Letter, and 1984. All were amazing.

    NO!!! why!! Brave New World wasn't good! the guy who wrote it was messed up in the mind... seriously, who writes a book about that. (im not gonna say anything direct in this forum, so for those of you who have read it, you know what i mean...)

    but i couldn't stand reading it. I literally stayed up the last night before the English Exam and read the last half of the book all night....

    I also can't stand Kite Runner. Why?! People write about the most ridiculous stuff then label it as a classic and make the younger populous read them in school. No wonder the world is so skrewed up...

    I don't think any author writes a book with the idea that future generations will have to read them and then do assignments based off those books. Discussions probably but not schoolwork.

    If anything, it's more a satire of where society is or where it could possibly go in the future. Political satire is always fun too. Dante's Inferno was pretty much a big Take That to people he didn't like so much, if I recall correctly.

    If you did your reading for school, maybe you'd know how to spell screw.

    Screw spelling! i procrastinated... and i didn't feel like typing the c button. but yeah...

    Now i thought that was interesting because it wasn't about corrupt sexual themes like the other books. I liked it because it was almost like an early version of a adventure fantasy novel.

    Now this is one thing we have in common.
    Mostly since I don't have any other reason for reading these days.

    1984 I actually read for fun. With Brave New World, about half way though I was reading it more for fun than it was being an assignment. As long as it keeps me interested, it should be pretty good. Oh, and how can we forget The Great Gatsby?

    The greatest tale and commentary on society, beating such classics as the aforementioned Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, Nineteen Eighty-Four, The Great Gatsby, To Kill a Mockingbird, anything by Jack Kerouac/Allen Ginsberg or even anything by Kurt Vonnegut is most certainly, without a doubt, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

    Also this thread is missing works by Dostoyevsky, Conrad, Steinbeck, Woolf, Tolstoy, and Dickens.

    You edited this since I read it. The quote and the post I am reading are different.

    Alas.
