Really? Hmm, I might check those out. This is the first Book I have ever read of his.

It's certainly his best known, along with Animal Farm which is wonderful. His earlier novels are almost unknown, although they're still in print. Homage to Catalonia is worth a read. It's non-fiction, his eyewitness account of what really happened in the Spanish Civil War. It's what turned him totally against Communism. I also like Keep the Aspidistra Flying, Burmese Days and Coming Up for Air. His non-fiction Road to Wigan Pier has some of the best quotables about liberals that I've ever read.
