<p>Oooh I really enjoyed Cold Mountain, A Prayer for Owen Meany, To Kill a Mockingbird, Wuthering Heights, The Lovely Bones, Anne Frank, and any sort of dystopian literature (The Giver, 1984, and Farenheit 451)</p>
<p>I loved The Giver, Catcher in The Rye, and The Hobbit.</p>

<p>The Stranger, My Antonia, The Great Gatsby (already my all time favorite book so it was nice actually having read it ahead of time, haha)</p>
<p>1984 and Night were both books I really enjoyed, but my favorite book has to have been Their Eyes Were Watching God.</p>
<p>Gatsby, TKAM, Lord of the Flies, Catcher in the Rye. Also enjoyed Animal Farm. </p>
<p>(I thought of more!)</p>
<p>All Quiet on the Western Front and Power and the Presidency </p>
<p>1984 is awesome because Orwell doesn’t write 100 word sentences like some of the old English novels. It is succinct, and makes sense. Also, the plot and subject were interesting.</p>

<p>It’s called romanticism. 1984 is supposed to be exaggerated. </p>
<p>@ThatOneWeirdGuy – I understand about romanticism. However, the dystopian society itself is not particularly well crafted in my personal opinion. The first time I read 1984 I thought it was a pretty good book. It was exciting in itself and had some interesting characteristics. The second time I felt that it was pretty bogged down by the mediocre story telling and how blatant everything is. There was no psychological aspect to 1984 and everything was pretty explicit in it. When you’re left to draw your own conclusions novels leave a much greater impact in my opinion. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion and obviously lots of people really enjoyed 1984. I think it is an overrated book though and honestly don’t believe that it’s as great of a piece of literature as people make it out to be.</p>
