1984 by George Orwell.

The Generalissimo: Chiang Kai-shek and the Struggle for Modern China

A few moments ago I read this discussion, now I am writing and about to click at the button "submit".

I'm ready two books at the moment, but both are polar opposites. Firstly I am reading the Russian classic "The Master and Margarita" and then "I Partridge" which is a comedy spoof autobiography. I love both so far.

I'm currently reading Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami, and honestly, the book is insane. I like it so far. :))
