I read it just the once. It has the dual quality of being very easy to read but being razor pain harsh in it's content. You can't even really get behind Winston Smith because he's not cool, he's not a hero and he's not that nice. A certain amount of sympathy maybe but that's about it.

But yeah ... amazing book. The amount of things it created that are now cliches is astounding.
