I just finished Orwell's 1984. It's one of those books that as a Sci Fi fan, I've always felt is a must read, and so many people praise it. I just didn't get it though. Most of it read more like a political treatise than it did as a novel, and a treatise with holes in it, and no counter-suggestion to make. And the rest of it was just needlessly bleak and depressing.
