MANDY!!! Read 1984 immediately, I read that book in 2 days (it wasn't one because it was too good to read too quick) and no book has topped that one for me yet. I'm currently looking for one that does. I'll read it again soon, since its been about about a year since I've seen it last. Animal Farm is great, by Orwell I read "Why I Write" and I liked that too. Its not a book, but just some of his ramblings and essays.
War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
