I actually really enjoyed 1984. I guess I'm a big fan of the whole "humans staying human" concept...and doublethink just blew my mind. A lot of my classmates totally skimmed the whole "the book" sections (supposedly written by the goldstein guy) but honestly, those were some of my favorite parts. I also enjoyed the psycology of the torture towards the end. I've never endured any kind of intense physical (or emotional really) pain, so it is just a totally foriegn idea to me.
And, a big tsk tsk on my sophmore english teacher, I've never read lord of the flies even though its required reading. It was checked out when i tryed to read it on my own time. Whats so bad about it?
