Another good book would be Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I'd have to agree with you, I read both Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984 a week ago and enjoyed it immensely.

I am not a fan of him, he is very boring with his details and makes the work seem emotionless and bland. No offense to anyone, but I will never read one of his books again.
