    Id like some opinions on some books to read.
    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.

    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)

    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! ;)
