An excellent comment on human and political relations. Quick read, too!

A favorite of mine from 8th grade and now my daughter is reading it and loving it also.
Who knew a story about farm animals could be so layered?
Animal Farm is fantastic- one of the books that we are required to read in school that is actually a joy. The commentary it creates on societies and totalitarianism is phenomenal. So much going on in this small book, you will need multiple reads. Every year or two I read it again and find new tidbits to pull out of its labyrinth of hidden meaning.
A book that holds up decades after it was written. If you enjoy this one, also read Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World". Both classics offer new views on a very current subject.

This is a "yesterday" book which is so pertinent to "today's issues". It describes the cycles of history:
oppression, revolution, freedom, prosperity, apathy, and back to tyranny and oppression. Very educational!
