I think you mean 'Brave New World'. It's by Aldous Huxley.

Witchhunt: History of a persecution
by Nigel Cawthorne
When bigotry and power-mania take control, disaster always follows for ordinary people - even when the power is wielded by the Church. Witchcraft, of course, was seen as devil-worship. Those accused - over 100,000 people, mainly women, between 1450 and 1750 - were subjected to the most bestial tortures and usually executed. Witches examines the real facts of this persecution and the religious hysteria that inspired it, tracing it back to its source. It tracks its wildfire-spread across Europe and the US until scientific reason began to challenge old beliefs and it began its long-awaited decline.

The Grapes of Wrath, for school. Oscar Wilde's been put on hold, I'm afraid =S
It's a great book, but the teacher just makes us read too much in one night. I hardly have time to do anything else in a day.

I'm currently absorbed in both "Five Families- the Rise, Fall, and Resurgence of America's Most Powerful Mafia Empires" and "The Art of Eating." They are darling books.

Great book. Gothic novel classic~~~! Recently I've picked up a collection of poems by Byron, Keats, and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Selected works. I love how Keats makes himself a 'naughty boy' in Song of Myself
