I started with “Anthem”. It’s decent Commie Dystopia, but not nearly as good as “1984”, or even better “We”.
I never got further than “Anthem”, because the closing chapter of that made me mad enough to break things.
Wait, what? Are we doppelgangers? I liked “Anthem” for its creative use of narration using plural pronouns, but the ending sucked. The protagonist discovered the singular pronoun!
Also, “Anthem” was a decent length for an 8th grader.
In 9th grade, I discovered Tolkien, that was way more fun than Atlas shrugging.
