I finished my first book from the 1% Well-Read Challenge earlier today:
We by Eugene Zamiatin. Sadly the paperback I was reading is now in multiple pieces. I'm not usually that hard on books, but this particular book is older than I am, so I don't feel so bad. Reading the book it was hard to believe it was written in the 1920's. It's held up well.
