    Ohh, I second “The Handmaid’s Tale.” Loved that book.

    Off the top of my head, how about:

    William Golding’s “The Lord Of The Flies”
    Orwell’s “1984” and “Animal Farm”
    Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World”
    Joseph Conrad “Heart of Darkness”
    Thomas More “Utopia”
    John Stuart Mill “On Liberty”
    Richard Adams’s “Watership Down” (Shut up, bunnies can be cool)
    Voltaire “Candide”
    Orson Card “Ender’s Game”
    Douglas Adam’s “Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”
