I confess to have only read 1984 and Animal Farm. although I've been meaning to read Homage to Catalonia for years.
I have enormous respect for Orwell; I suspect we would have agreed on a great many things. I note that at times he was a member of the Independent Labour Party, an organisation which I personally find a lot of historical connection with. When he described himself as a "Tory-Anarchist", I understood that as well; a cultural conservative, even elitist, but a political libertarian and egalitarian.
