I'm not presently part of the book club, but I've read 1984 many times and have also assigned as a reading in Sociology classes. I find the "war on terror" a chilling simile to the endless war against Eurasia and Eastasia. As others have pointed out in this discussion, at times I'll hear or read something that strikes a chord with that book. Two minutes hate against health care reform, anyone?
BTW, they did an excellent job with the movie. John Hurt as Winston - perfect.
