Bandit and Frindle, you are basically the two sides of an internal argument I've had every time I read a 'classic' for the last few years (whether or not I've actually liked it). I agree with Bandit about Orwell and Tolkien being interesting for their linguistic and political insights rather than for their narrative skills, but I don't think they're bad from a literary point of view for that reason; since, for me, literature does entail things like that. If you read LotR because you want to see how Tolkien exposes the languages he's designed, I'd still consider that a literary activity. And I agree with Frindle that you should generally make sure to clarify that what you say about a book is just your opinion - because there genuinely are people out there who equate their own opinions with absolute truth, and if you're mistaken for one of them, that's a loss for both you and whomever you're talking to.
