I've been looking for some good books to read, something along the lines of Animal Farm (The genre and style of book, not the ideology)

The House of the Scorpion is sorta along those lines.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

Meh, not really. Sure, the issue of Cloning, but not about political ideologies.

1) Animal Farm
2) 1984

I like A Clockwork Orange, maybe Fahrenheit 451, though I'm sure you've read those already.

That's probably the best book in the world ever but Kleptin's list is hot too.

I reckon you'd like J.G. Ballard Panda.

I actually tried to read A Clockwork Orange before I'd seen the picture, when I was about 13. I didn't know what the f*ck was going on haha, I couldn't understand the language. Then I saw the film 900 times, and have since gone back to read the book, which f*cking pwns.

J.G. Ballard is a bit strange for mine... then again, I've only read The Atrocity Exhibition, and again I was quite young. I couldn't make much sense of it at all.
"Let me tell you the truth. The truth is, 'what is'. And 'what should be' is a fantasy, a terrible terrible lie that someone gave to the people long ago. The 'what should be' never did exist, but people keep trying to live up to it. There is no 'what should be,' there is only what is."
