Fahrenheit 451 and the Ender's Game are the two I've read. I thought that Fahrenheit 451 was very poorly written in some parts and other I thought it was great. All the character were just short of insane, but all in all, it was a fun read.

I've been planning to read Fahrenheit 451 as soon as I can get it, but it was the short stories that made me want to try reading Ray Bradbury though. One was called 'My Sad Face' or something similar.

I've read both 1984 and Animal Farm, did the second one in Literature class. Skimmed through Uglies, found it intruiging, but like Fahrenheit 451, it hasn't made it onto my current reading list yet. Damn the exams.
