The funniest thing about Orwell is most people consider Farm and 1984 his best. His best is actually a wrenching essay about watching a hanging in some colony. If you can find his essay, it probably makes the greatest case against capital punishment I've ever read, and I'm not even sure that's what he intended.
God, I hope that essay was Orwell, or I'll be outed as the literary dilletante I am.
