Parable of the Sower
Octavia E. Butler

Butler’s vision of 2025 is disturbingly close to reality. Her prose is sparse and powerful and made me immediately want to dive into the second book. I also alternated between a couple of different versions and I can highly recommend Lynne Thigpen’s narration on the audiobook. Even when I was reading the ebook, I was reading it in her voice, that’s how great an impression she made.
