Fahrenheit 451
It's easy to bullshit your way through that one, and for some reason, teachers eat it up.

If you want a good good book, pick 1984

If you want an easy book, pick "In the Lake of the Woods" or 451

The Poisonwood Bible. Barbara Kingsolver is so bad you'll never read another book again.

1984 has the best interesting device/plot used as the central theme...Poisonwood Bible is just too simplistic that it can be applied to several diverse themes since each characters conclusion reflected in their personality

451: Just write about how modern times is similar to the dystopian future that the novel portrays. How it removes our capability to express emotion and think and all that garbage.
