People tell me all the time that my English degree is useless, but I don’t know, guys. Look at the following texts of which I have extensive knowledge. Judging from recent and still unfolding events, I believe they will be a guide to life in the following few years. (Presented in no particular order):
- “1984” – George Orwell.
- “Les Miserables” – Victor Hugo.
- “The Handmaid’s Tale” – Margaret Atwood.
- “Fahrenheit 451” – Ray Bradbury.
- “A Tale of Two Cities” – Charles Dickens.
- The entire “Harry Potter” series – J.K. Rowling.
- “Station Eleven” – Emily St. John Mandel.
- “The Hunger Games” – Suzanne Collins.
- “It Can’t Happen Here” – Sinclair Lewis.
- “The Girl with All the Gifts” – M.R. Carey.
- “Animal Farm” – George Orwell again.
- “That Hideous Strength” – C.S. Lewis.
- “The Arcana Chronicles” – Kresley Cole.
- “Brave New World” – Aldous Huxley.
- “The Giver” – Lois Lowry.
- “The Road” – Cormac McCarthy.
- and of course, “The Bible” – God et al.
Anything I ought to add?
