It Can't Happen Here, another book in the spirit of 1984, which I thought was quite an excellent book as well.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

The Catcher in the Rye is a must. It's a short read, but a really great book. I expect a LOT of the people here have read it, but if you haven't, do so.

Reading Level?
Transall Saga by Gary Paulsen
Its a middle school book, and im a grown man now but i still say its my favorite.
Hell anything by him is good.
Hatchet - Just about every school in the US has this book as a mandatory read. To be honest i never had an intrest in books until the school forced me to read this.
Brians Return - A sequel to hatchet, Brian returns to the canadian wilderness.
Brians Winter - A Continuation of Hatchet. What would have been if Brian wasnt rescued.
Transall Saga - A boy running across the desert is sent to a unknown world from a mysterious high energy blue light.
Soldiers Heart - Oh man this is a good one, the life of a civil war soldier, this one was so intense i was sweating in class while reading it.
The Car - A younge man builds a car from a kit to go see his uncle.
Dog Song - Cant really remeber too much, but its really good, non-the less
The Island - After a teenager is moved to far away to his new home, he copes with life and makes a small island his own. <-- Really good one
The River - Another Sequel to hatchet 
Winterdance - More of an adult book, about the iditerod (<- god knows that isnt spelled right) race in alaska
Woodsong - Really good one, thoug i read it after Dogsong and cant really remeber it either.

come to think of it, I hear The Hobbit is a really good book. I have not read it but all of the lord of the rings series are based off of that book

Ender's Game or Ender's Shadow, Orson Scott Card, but don't expect the same thing from their sequeals. Or perhaps His Dark Materials series by Phillip Pullman? Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy maybe (before the movie comes out)?
