This one is more of a children's novel, but I read it as a kid and it always stuck with me.

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle

Much Ado About Nothing - Shakespeare

The Prince - Machiavelli

The talented Mr. Ripley -Patricia H.

Lolita – Vladimir Nabokov

It's funny that Orwell's 1984 was mentioned in the post before this. I was going to say that Orwell's <em>Animal Farm </em>is one of the best books I've ever read. It's also easier to read.

<em>Alice's Adventures in Wonderland</em> -- Lewis Carroll

<em>Nineteen Eighty-Four</em> -- George Orwell

<em>Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog)</em> -- Jerome K. Jerome
