I was wondering, has anyone here read this book? It's one of my fave books ever. I see so many things going on in this world that correlate with what happened in the book.

Yep, this is an excellent book, I have read it a couple of times now. Anyone read brave new world by Aldous Huxley (spelling?)
Another good book is starship troopers by Heinlein, I think it's much better than the movie

I love 1984! perfectly written book with a perfect fitting ending. it is definately a book everyone should read because there references to it everywhere.
this is the best dystopian novel i have read...ok Clockwork Orange comes close....but this book is amazing.

1984 is something everyone should read. It's better than A Brave New World, although maybe not A Clockwork Orange. That was a great book. Starship Troopers is fantastic. I love Heinlein. If you've seen the movie, the book is nothing like it. That movie sucked big time.

i liked brave new world better than 1984. i got impatient with all the politics in 1984, especially the part quoting a rulebook/political book. i thought that was a little overboard. i also really liked the giver, though it's written for younger people, more so.
a clockwork orange is on my list of books to read.

How strange... I just got 1984 out from the library today! We're studying "A handmaid's tale" by Margaret Atwood in english and my english teacher said we should try to read 1984 too if we want to write about how our studied novel relates to another in the end of year exam.
I'm going to start reading it once I've finished "The lovely bones" (nearly!) and then I want to read "A clockwork Orange" and "Lucky"

I adored 1984. I read it when I was a lot younger though, so I should probably read it again to pick up on some of the subtleties of the book. I had to study Animal Farm in English, and I think I just got sick of it.
I loved The Handmaid's Tale. Oryx and Crake (also by Margaret Atwood) is an even darker book in the same theme.
I've got Brave New World sitting at home, begging me to read it, and A Clockwork Orange is on my reading list. =D

bumping this thread.
I finished it yesterday. great book. My favorite part was when they were in the room above Mrs. Charrington's shop and they look out at the window at the woman and say
"we are the dead"
"we are the dead"
and then the voice out of nowhere...
"you are the dead"
~ its sent chills down my spine.
it was freaky. I liked 1984 better than animal farm.
