1984 by George Orwell
Encouraged by the great PBS read, I decided to re-read this classic. I remember it scaring me in 9th grade and that has been about a bazillion years ago. I can honestly say it scared me even more today. The correlation between thought and dissent..... and the insistence on government leaders - a ruling class in a classless society - being of one unquestioning mindset.... Definitely a cautionary tale as relevant today as it was when it was first published. An important book to read if not an enjoyable one. This is a classic!
