Animal farm/ Brave New World/ Fahrenheit 451

These three books seem to be intriguing me right now for no particular reason. If I were to read them all again, which one would you say is the best to start with?

Animal Farm is the best of the three IMO.

Animal Farm is ridiculously relevant right now.

Brave New World is one of my favorite books of all time.

Animal farm should be read monthly by everyone in corporate America...

You should read 1984.

Animal Farm.

F 451 is a great read, but it only pertains to books and works of art. The police/fire fighters are one big Gestapo.
1984 is very relevant. Very. Scary. Orwell knew the winds of change during freaking Truman man.
Likewise Animal Farm is his other masterpiece. Very fitting in the 2012-2020 age.
Brave New World...must admit, never read it.

Animal Farm and Brave New World are excellent. Can't go wrong with either. I've never really cared for Fahrenheit 451. I get its message and its importance, but I feel the story and its characters are less interesting than the other two books you have mentioned. And of course if you like AF and BNW, there is the dark dystopian classic, 1984. If you have already read 1984, then definitely read BNW. Two very different visions of a dystopian future.

I agree with Brave New World. I reread it last year (last time was in high school). I’m not proud to admit I understood Mustapha Mond a lot better this time around. I reread Animal Farm last month and it’s good but basic.

Animal Farm can almost be read in one sitting. Since it is, probably, the most straightforward narrative (although the sub-text and themes will remain with you, of course), I would recommend that one first.
Then F451, because I want to recommend a 4th - Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land to read as a companion piece to Brave New World.
So, Animal Farm (and, if you like, 1984 before or after F451 if you want a 5th), F451, Brave New World, then Stranger in a Strange Land.
