1984 was a perspective-changing book. Though this book has faced many reasons for being banned, the message behind it is still powerful.

Fahrenheit 451: the temperature at which book paper burns. This book shows the story of Guy Montag, a fireman who burns books, but questions what books are, and what power do they hold? This is a book to never forget, as it captures a society where self-thought and indivuality are unnattainable.

One of the classics of literature: filled with camaraderie, savagery, and adventure, with the British schoolboys questioning what they have become.
