| | 2. 1984 |
| By: George Orwell
Publisher: Buccaneer Books
1982-06
I think I recall reading this in highschool, but of course, did not realize it's value at the time. Upon reading it 20 years later, I was amazed! This was a very shocking book in that when it was written there was no way the author could have known what would have been invented or happening in our present time or in 1984. It reads like fiction, but we know it is reality. He sheds light on many... more

| | 4. Animal Farm |
| By: George Orwell
Publisher: Transaction Large Print
December 31, 2009
Orwell shows the incrimental rise of tyrrany among barnyard animals. That's really what is at the heart of this book: the slow methodical creep of ever more constrictive, exploitive, and oppressive laws which transform a free society to a totalitarian dictatorship. Each step is slowly introduced, and introduced to the public in a calm and well-reasoned manner. If done skillfully, no individual step... more

| | 5. The Things They Carried |
| By: Tim O'Brien
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
March 22, 2010
This work is a series of vignettes or short stories that blur the lines between fiction and non. While indicated plainly on the title page as a work of fiction, the work is dedicated to the names of the characters from the stories. My understanding is that book dedications are to real people. So, are the characters actually real people, but these are not their stories? It is also written in the first... more

| | 7. Homage to Catalonia |
| By: George Orwell
Publisher: Mariner Books
October 22, 1980
An editor from Slate magazine stated that "Homage to Catalonia" was one of his top three non-fiction books. That's a strong claim, and also what motivated me to download this to the Kindle.
Orwell paints a vivid picture of the Spanish civil war prior to WWII. It is well written and a compelling read. Orwell travels from Britain to Spain and joins the Independent Labor Party and POUM... more

| | 8. Animal Farm and 1984 | 
| By: George Orwell
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
June 01, 2003
I enjoyed this book from cover to cover. The first short story Animal Farm was almost like an introduction to 1984. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in conspiracy or just wants some good entertainment. It was a quick read and it was better and better every chapter!... more

| | 9. The Complete Stories |
| By: Flannery O'Connor
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
January 01, 1971
I can't tell you how many times I have read reviews of books that referred to A Good Man is Hard to Find, so when I read that Flanner O'Connor's short stories are considered at the top of critics' lists of the best of American writing I began looking for a collection. So far I have not been disappointed in the collection but I haven't finished it... more
