Kids book which has been around for some time.
Ok, but dated and a bit simplistic. Has something though.

Classic horror. Written in 1897 and possibly the first novel to use the correspondence style.
Easy to see why it became a classic, in its day it terrified readers. What would a modern day editor do with it, probably cut it by 100 pages, but would that make it a better?

First published in 1953. A sci-fi of the way government controls ‘the people’ by stopping them reading books and therefore having a creative cultured life by burning books.
Still fresh today. I read the edition with an interview by the author which was interesting to hear if he would have changed the book if he wanted to. Also his view that making abridged editions of novels is just as bad as burning books…go on him.
