Nineteen Eighty-Four is an absolute must read for everyone. Haunting, not wholly outrageous and, in certain respects prophetic, this book is more valid today than when it was first released. I recommend you read it, take a long break (perhaps months or years) and then read it again. You will pick up on subtleties missed the first time. Most of all, own a copy of it. One of the best modern books ever written. I'm not referring to the quality of prose. I'm referring to the concepts contained within that have been adopted into our lexicon and cultural as well as that of the geopolitical sphere. Astounding.
