1984, because it's so uplifting.
I was inspired to read it again after many many years when my son first read it a few months ago. I bought my son and daughter each a copy of the Creature and 1984 around 2004 when I first came upon RI and was concerned the books would be banned. Many years later my son, after coming out of the massive Corona inspired fog, read the copy I bought him when he was a little guy. The observations and discussions we now have are incredible. I'm happy that my son read the book. It's actually depressing as f*k to reread it, but the reminders of the evil of doublespeak/think are good to have as we are inundated in the media. Next up is a refresher on Brave New World.
