I know, it's not really a PA book, but it IS dystopian and some part of me though that that might count.

Plus, there's no General Books section like there is in Movies.

Winston Smith works for the Ministry of Truth in London, chief city of Airstrip One. Big Brother stares out from every poster, the Thought Police uncover every act of betrayal. When Winston finds love with Julia, he discovers that life does not have to be dull and deadening, and awakens to new possibilities. Despite the police helicopters that hover and circle overhead, Winston and Julia begin to question the Party; they are drawn towards conspiracy. Yet Big Brother will not tolerate dissent even in the mind. For those with original thoughts they invented Room 101.

Nineteen Eighty-Four is George Orwell's terrifying vision of a totalitarian future in which everything and everyone is slave to a tyrannical regime.

Yeah, so, I just finished reading this book and would like to hear any comment/reviews you guys have on it. Personally, I loved it, and, even though the date that George Orwell chose has long since past, it still seems like a possible future. Which is quite scary, really, when you think about it…

Interesting because I read both of the books mentioned here at school. Both are quite similar but I really enjoyed Brave New World, it's one of the few books from school that I actually remember. The future world is not only dominated by Class but it's very much influenced by the industrial age, lots of references to Henry Ford and capitalism, it's basically Huxley's paranoia of global Americanization taken to the extreme.

Looks like I'm going to have to find a copy of Brave New World now

I'll just finish reading Ender's Game and then that will be the next book on my list.

Yes, it was very good. I didn't want to put it down, actually. Quite a surprising ending too, really makes you think. I'd recommend it to all those who haven't read it and like sci-fi.

Yes, I agree. That's one of the reasons I liked Nineteen Eighty-Four so much.

It's an excellent book, if you enjoyed it I'd recommend reading, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury both are great reads with a similiar feel to 1984.
