Hi All!
I starting to get back into reading after a long hiatus. I just want a good book that I can grab for some escapism. Out of all the three mentioned in the title , Which book seems to do just that? I don’t care for their ideas I just want a good fiction book to read. If not one of these books which fiction book can?

Those are good books, but they wouldn’t qualify as escapist literature. Try *The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy* instead.
Personally hated BNW – just a bunch of characters lining up and spewing expositions about their world/way of life. Unlike the other 2, did not have 1 central character to latch onto, was waiting for something other than heavy-handed world-building but that didn’t happen almost till the end of the book; so I’d suggest that you read 1984 and F451 and leave out BNW.
Animal farm, crime and punishment, Anna kernina, notes from the underground. Metamorphosis and the trial. The fall and the stranger. Same vibe as of 1984, BNW, and F451.
I wouldn’t call any of those escapism, at all. But Bradbury’s probably comes closest.
