If you check out 1984, check out one of Orwell's (i forget his real name) teacher's books, A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Its a good one and then you should read his non-fiction work, A Brave New World Revisited. Both are extremely short too for you ppl out there with no attention span

So far I've read Out of the Silent Planet, 1984, and Neuromancer.

1984 is good good, thought not as grand as animal farm imho. Brave New World is also excellent.

Dune isn't so bad. I didn't like it the first time through; rereading it made me appreciate the book a little more. I still complain that, for having no characters with whom we are supposed to associate, it screws the political intrigue with the right/wrong notions pervading the book, but that's just me.

Dune by Frank Herbert, by far the greatest book ive ever read.

The Real Story: The Gap into Conflict by Stephen R. Donaldson

"Angus Thermopyle was an ore pirate and a murderer; even the most disreputable asteroid pilots of Delta Sector stayed locked out of his way. Those who didn't ended up in the lockup?or dead. But when Thermopyle arrived at Mallory's Bar & Sleep with a gorgeous woman by his side the regulars had to take notice. Her name was Morn Hyland, and she had been a police officer?until she met up with Thermopyle.

But one person in Mallorys Bar wasn't intimidated. Nick Succorso had his own reputation as a bold pirate and he had a sleek frigate fitted for deep space. Everyone knew that Thermopyle and Succorso were on a collision course. What nobody expected was how quickly it would be over?or how devastating victory would be. It was common enough example of rivalry and revenge?or so everyone thought. The REAL story was something entirely different."

Part I of V book series.

The Forever War by Joe Haldeman.
Written about 25 years ago, won both the Hugo and Nebula awards for best novel. It still makes me think today.
