I spent a chunk of last year reading all of Iain M Banks's sci-fi novels, and it was definitely time well spent.
Ninteen Eighty-Four is always worth a re-read. Each time you see something that you'd missed before and which still resonates with the world we live in today.
I must get around to re-reading The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. It was one of our texts for my English A Level (for American readers, A Levels are the qualifications that you take in British schools, with the exception of Scotland, between 16 and 18). Needless to say we over-analysed it to death, and it sucked any pleasure from it that I might have gained. I was heartily sick of it after two years. However, the recent TV adaptation of it really is very good and after 22 years I feel the urge to pick it up again.
