1984 is over cited and over glorfied. i think his concept of double speak is fantastic though. and i've been meaning to look into Freakonomics since a dive into wikipedia told be about it (start with a random article and link off of it till you find something totally fun and unrelated).

I haven't finished this book yet, though i have the intention of doing so (had to return to libarary before year ended) but an interesting book to read is: Cannibals and Kings: The Origin of Cultures (or something like that). Its actually a book on anthropology but i think it could provide some interesting insight on some issues.
