You mean, you get to study George Orwell's 1984? I'm very jealous of you, because it is apparently a fantastic novel... which I am yet to get my hands on to read. I have too much on at the moment to get into it.

I tried reading Animal Farm but gave up even though it's a small book. I think it's because I didn't know enough about when the story was written.

Emma by Jane Austen. Personally, I think this book is fine, not too boring yet not too interesting.
