It would not likely be understood by younger students unless they have some knowledge of Soviet history. I agree that it is very important and one of the few novels I would add to this list. Brothers Karamazov, First Circle-Solzhenietsin, Bleak House-Dickens, War and Peace, Moby Dick, Pride and Prejudice should also be considered.
It is appalling to see third rate novels by a second rate philosopher considered worthy of such a list. Even Heinlein is not in this league and I do like him. Of course, he is 10x the writer Rand is but still.
