Animal Farm

By: George Orwell
Genre: Literature

A classic! Orwell explores the inevitable evolution of an egalitarian system into a hierarchy through a brilliant analogy. The animals really take on a life of their own! After overthrowing the evil human owner, the residents of Animal Farm instate a commmunist system. Slowly but surely, power corrupts. Steadfast rules change in an insinuating manner and the pigs end up ruling the farm with an iron fist.

Also read this one on the flight from Vancouver to Hong Kong, in transit to Johannesberg.
