Yes. The opening chapters are a little dry, but it's very good afterwards. Some of the language and ideas are a little twee and it's not as good as Nineteen eight-four IMHO (It's immediate relative) but still very good.
What other classics are there that I should read? I'm gonna get Catch 22 next I think.

Last Summer. You do realise it's nearly a full year later. Still Nineteen eighty-four is a magnificent book, and one read probably once every few months.

Catch-22 is incredibly difficult the first time around, but weirdly, totally re-readable subsequent times.
It's the sequel to Wiseguys, the Henry Hill novel that inspired GoodFellas. Tells the story of Hills life on the run and gives more detail about his life of crime before he went into the WRP. Haven't finished it yet, but it's quite interesting.
