1984
Out of cheapness I accidentally bought the Penguin Readers Level 4 version of Orwell's book. The flavor is still there, however.
The humor's even better, like when you're reading the no-more-than-1700-word version of how the newspeak dictionary writers like Syme are, "destroying words -- lots of them, hundreds of them, every day."
We have lots of executive newspeakers in the business world, but nobody working on the dictionary except for Rob and Luke, and theirs is a part time effort.
I don't mind rats. Not sure what I expect to find when they take me to Room 101.
