Title: Animal Farm (by George Orwell)
Post by: Athiest33 on August 04, 2009, 01:17:40 AM
It's such a deep book, with so many hidden meanings about the nature of humans...It's very satirical as well.

Basically, it involves animals overthrowing their leader: A farmer. Their idea is to make the farm a better place, but one individual, (heavily based on leader Joseph Stalin) rises to glory and makes a terrible system that eventually leaves him no better than the humans he loathed.

It is an extremely good book, and please feel free to discuss it here.

Yeah that's an awesome book. It was one of the books I had to read at high school and I loved it. I suggest you say hi on the introduction thread. And I agree with quizlixx regarding 1984. I haven't read fahrenheit 451 though. Welcome!

Great book. I also liked "1984" and "Fahrenheit 451". My favorite novels about an utopia gone wrong however are "Walter Tevis' "Mockingbird" and Ira Levin's "This perfect day".
