18. Animal Farm by George Orwell

Is an allegorical novel about government control and the events leading up to WWII as seen through the view point of a simple farm and it's animals. It shows the danger of power and how far some people...or animals, will go to get it. Written in 1945, but has an easy flow of reading. This one actually had me a little creeped out at the end when the animals could no longer decipher between the humans and pigs. I think George Orwell was more correct than even he imagined.
