Ive never read 1984 but ive heard its really interesting
but i have read a book of the same genre i found interesting:
The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy! it was a cool book
erm, not even remotely the same genre there - Nineteen Eighty-Four is about trying to live in a nightmarish futuristic police state (and is where the terms Room 101 and Big Brother come from) whereas H2G2 is a series of comedy books of very British humour by the late Douglas Adams, based on the original radio series. There's a new film version of it out soon, too.
