I'm reading Freakonomics right now. Its written by a brilliant economist who takes lots of economic principles and applys them to lots of random, everyday situation and topics.

The first chapter is about how the Chicago School System is like Sumo Wrestling. The second one is about how the KKK is like insurance agencies.

Its a great read and worth looking into.

As far as 1984 goes. I think its the most over rated, over referenced, and over the top book ever. I cant stand Orwells writing style and find it an absolutely horrid read. lol
