The Grapes of Wrath is quite appropos now, in the light of the current economic crisis.
If you liked Brave New World, I recommend an eBook that I read recently: The Year of Compulsory Childbirth by Nigel Farringdon. It's one more in a long line of Dystopia novels of the last seventy or so years (Brave New World, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, The Handmaid's Tale). But because of the way in which some of the characters fight back, it's also a bit like Atlas Shrugged and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. It's also a bit preachy - but I guess that's par for the course with Dystopian novels!
