Can’t whittle it down to one! Stephen King’s “Dark Tower” books, Cormack McCarthy’s “The Road” (great film too). Also “The Wild Road” and “The Golden Cat” by Gabriel king, especially if you’re an animal/wildlife lover. And (for horse lovers) all of Mark Rashid’s books. So many! Sorry ?

Agreed!
Yes, absolutely. Orwell *meant* it to be fiction …

Scarily accurate to what is ACTUALLY happening today. Orwell was almost prophetic….

May I ask you what is it about?
It is a dystopian society where books are banned. They have firemen that instead of putting out fires set books on fire. One of the firemen find a book and it changes his life. Also it’s called Fahrenheit 451 because that’s the temperature paper burns at.

Cannery Row by John Steinbeck.
Love it and all his books
Christy White, good on you! I was given Cannery Row by a friend before going to the Presidio of Monterey in the USAF in 1967. The Presidio was just up the hill from CR. It was much as Steinbeck had described just over 20 years previously. Western Biological was still there. The building in which Lee Chong’s Grocery had been was still there. As was the big boiler in which some people had lived. Back then the only thing new was the Steinbeck Theater (cinema), where I saw The Graduate. I haven’t been back since the early 1970s, but it has, apparently undergone some serious changes, and nothing of the old Cannery Row remains. My favorite chapter in the book and the one which still makes me laugh out loud is the frog hunt.
I have always wanted to go there. Lucky you to go at the right time! My family survived the dust bowl so my mom encouraged us to The Grapes of Wrath. My family didn’t lose thier farm but when my moved to California in the early 60’s her daughter came home from school. Saying stupid Okies!. This was still a put down!
I’ve met quite a few Okies but never a stupid Okie. I can understand why it was a put down, having read The Grapes of Wrath, seen the movie, and read other books about that time and place.
And my mom told me how she sat her down and told her how my mom and Patty were born in Kansas. Then she told her how she was born on Oklahoma so she was an Okie!
By the way I was born later in California!
Yes she told my mom an okie smelled bad and dressed at stupid!
