The two novels of Orwell I haven't read are "A Clergyman's Daughter" and "Coming Up for Air".

The former incorporates Orwell's supposedly unsuccessful stab at modernist literary technique; I'm curious to see if it really is a failure.

I know little about the latter, but both the completist and the cultural historian within me want to polish it off anyway.

"Burmese Days" is excellent, and should be pressed into the hands of Niall Ferguson fans and other right wingers inclined to wax lyrical about the British empire.

At some point in the future, I'll post my thoughts on "1984'".
