Fahrenheit 451 or Brave New World. I lead a St. Louis missouri classic book club and we just read these. Great reads!

These are all set in Toronto and all are important Canadian authors.

Plus, some Scott Pilgrim if you like graphic novels.

I think I read this some years ago. If I recall, a sub-plot included a character smuggling the then prohibited alcohol across the border. It was a good read overall I think.
