My English Teacher's Definition [...]

That is more in line with what I thought the definition was.

@Pete, I imagine space is much less limited in electronic form as opposed to the printed dictionaries I consulted. Though I will Google definitions when time is of the essence, I often prefer to look in the physical books because I am likely to run across other intriguing words in the process.

From shoju's list I own and have read the following:

• 1984
  
• Animal Farm (Everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others.)
  
• Logan's Run
  
• THX-1138
  
• Metropolis (Watched VHS silent movie only)
  
• The Running Man (The book and the movie are bit different, especially the ending.)
  
• Planet of the Apes
  

I do have the electronic text version of Metropolis but haven't printed it yet to read. (I have a GBC style binder machine and I will make a physical book when I'm ready to read it.)

Ok, guilty pleasure when I was younger was the Piers Anthony Apprentice Adept series.

For me it was his Xanth series.
