i agree with sacks...

1984 and animal farm are probably his two best and most famous books.

they also have many similarities.

pick up animal farm from the library or buy it (it's worth it)!

it's a great book, and even better yet, it's short smile.gif

Exactly. My teacher wouldn't let me do Animal Farm because it's so short.

@Masocre:
Yeah, plus I've already read BNW. Good book.

wow, how gay.

seriously, they care about how much work they can make you do rather than how good the material is.
no wonder why most people hate reading...

Also consider Ray Bradbury if you're thinking 1984. Fahrenheit 451 and Something Wicked This Way Comes mayhaps?

Tell her to make up for the book's lack of pages you will write more pages in your paper or w/e it is your writing.

That's like saying Plato's Theatetus is easy because it's only a hundred something pages long. In that case, I wonder why I spent four seminars in college on it... strange...
