Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.

Read it before the movie comes out.

Perennial entry on just about any sf critic’s Top Ten list.

I read The Gunslinger and I thought it was like "cool" but pretty trashy. The Gunslinger is cool, but that's just cause I like gunslinging heroes, but I'm really unsure whether to get book 2 and keep reading. Does it get better? It seems silly the way King brings characters in and then throws them away. The boy was weird because when he gets "thrown away" I thought it'd be in a much more dramatic fashion, but it was pretty blah. I dunno...

If you liked 1984, you should read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Don't bother with Brave New World Revisited though.

In the same vein as 1984 and actually the inspiration for it is WE by Yevgeny Zamyatin.

Some of your notions might be contradicted if you keep reading in the series.
