Oral Dilemma

I can choose any text on any topic in any genre. Help!

I've read George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four recently and it was stunningly crafted, profound and deeply moving - i.e. hard to do a great oral on. On the other hand, I could do something like take a well known popular text - The Da Vinci Code, perhaps - and analyse the methods (both good and bad) used in writing it and why it has become widely read. Or there's this other book that I've been reading, Boyhood, which is about the childhood of a boy in South Africa (that we grudually learn to be that of the author). The style of that one is a bit unorthodox and so it might make a good oral from that point of view. But then I'd have to stop labouring through our turgid class novel and finish that one.

Does anyone else have any ideas? Films? Bits of poetry? I really need to decide now...
