JCC Top 10s

It may not be for you, idk. It's themes of revolution, freedom, anarchy, equality, and the oppressive nature of capitalist society resonated with me. Also it was full of righteous rants, which is something that I enjoy. And generally part of the reason that I like science fiction is getting to see author's imaginings of what the future can be, what human society can be capable of, etc., and I found this to be an example of a society that appealed to me. Like I said, it probably isn't a book that everyone will enjoy, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.



Edit: Rogue1-and-a-half

 

In some kinda order:

The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
