Brave New World really confused you? I do remember the begining not making sense at first but once you're past the first chapter it all falls into place and it's simply AMAZING. I do love 1984 because it's the first dystopia book I read and there is something about it that's depressing yet wonderful all at the same time. However, I would say Brave New World is just as good or even better. Clockwork Orange is just funny and awesome (I saw the movie before I read the book) but the language is a bit hard to get used to especially when your book doesn't come with a glossary.
