My children had a have to read list, for highschool
In this order:
Animal Farm
Brave New World
1984
The Earth Abides
The Long Walk
They have thanked me for having them read them. I have tried to get them interested in SF. It is best read while young.

I’ve read Animal Farm, 1984 and Brave New World. I’ve never heard of the other two.
