Orwell's classic novel is set in a dystopian world where not only deeds, but also thoughts, can be criminal. I found this book a little more difficult to get through than Huxley's "Brave New World" simply because it was all bad news - Huxley injected a little humor (and a lot of sarcasm) in his similarly-themed novel. Definitely worth reading, but don't look to this title if you're searching for a "feel good" read.
