I understand 1984 and the like, but this one, when I was 15 was quite the shock.
I liked it tho. Maybe it's not a good book, but it made me realise that literature could be about eveything. At the time I didn't even know there was such a thing as 'best-sellers'

One of the trippiest things I've ever read in my life, but I liked it a lot. Almost a decade later I still remember it. Also had some explicit sex scenes that were pretty neat to 15 year old me.
