Animal Farm
Animal Farm is a novella by George Orwell, and is the most famous satirical allegory of Soviet totalitarianism. Published in 1945, the book reflects events leading up to and during the Stalin era. Orwell, a democratic socialist, and a member of the Independent Labour Party for many years, was a critic of Joseph Stalin, and was suspicious of Moscow-directed Stalinism after his experiences with the NKVD during the Spanish Civil War.

I normally didn't like school readings but this one was actually pretty good.
Satirical look at marxist/communist thought and the rise of the elite class within these supposed
"classless" ideologies. A great read for anyone--especially those who have yet to realize the failures of planned economies and totalitarian states.
