09.18.09 | Orwell's Animal Farm. personally i prefer it to 1984
if you like ishiguro, check out "Never Let Me Go" and "Remains of the Day"
also you could get "Things Fall Apart" by Chinhua Achebe
urmmmmm
if you want something that's just pure entertainment you could get "Contest" by Matthew Reilly. He is basically really shit except for that book, which is awesome.
