Hey id love some opinions from everyone on books to read. I love utopian books. Currently I am reading George Orwell's 1984, and just finished Aldous Huxleys Brave New World, amazing book by the way. I like to read about war and hardship, and incredible human strength (not super heroes, will power and motivation type strenght). Or throw in some different books to broaden my horizons, thanks!

Isaac Asimov writes wonderfully entertaining fiction with "real" people.

"Gone With The Wind," by Margaret Mitchell

"Uncle Tom's Cabin," by Harriet Beecher Stowe

"Night" by Elie Wiesel, about the hardships he went through during the holocaust

How about Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, "a feminist dystopia (negative utopia) because it is set within an imperfect society of the future, and addresses the misogyny of patriarchal culture." (from bookrags.com)

You might enjoy Captains and the Kings by Taylor Caldwell.

I still love The Scarlet Pimpernel. It is set during the French Revolution... if you like reading about war and strong characters, this is one for you! ;)

For war and hardship try The Power of One and The Book Thief
