T-this?

I've only read Brave New World, and I loved it.

>> No.3177855

Brave New World, If you want the one that everyone goes on about. But I just finished Crome Yellow, and it would make a good start if you were to do it in chronological order. But I'm just reading them in no particular way.

Brave New World is the only one I read but it was fantastic. I highly recommend it, OP.

The Devils of Loudon was awesome and disturbing.

>> No.3180100

Brave New World, then the next Huxley you read should be Ape and Essence.

>> No.3180110

I would also agree with the consensus of this thread and say Brave New World is the way to go. If you want to understand how Huxley thinks on a more personal level, try The Door of Perception. The subject matter may not interest you, but it's a fascinating read.
