Animal Farm by George Orwell
If you ever see this book lying around, don’t hesitate to grab it because it’s definitely worth a read. Now, i’m not gonna summarize the book for you because i really think you should read it yourself. It's quite an old book, published in 1945, and by 1973, over 2 million copies had been sold.
“All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.”
I think that this statement captures the gist of the whole book. Hidden in this story is the whole structure of socialism and it comes to show that there can never be a totally equal society, simply because there will always be some who are more equal than the rest. Thus, the notion of socialism can never truly exist. Anyway, just read the book and it'll give you something to think about.

John Wee: Haven't read the book. but I watched a cartoon exact remake of the book. Really good stuff. I used to watch it again and again and again when I was young. Used to be my favorite cartoon.
I think the book was created to combat communist ideology. Especially it was during the 1940-an. :)
