I remember finding Brave New World profoundly more disturbing than 1984. (Prolly for these reasons, even as a kid.) I was required to read both Animal Farm and 1984, though. No room for Huxley, I suppose. Too much sex, maybe.
That and the Red Badge of Courage. I never read what was required of me after that and bullshitted through everything else, especially Beowulf.
