I listened to this as an audiobook on my ipod while at work a few months ago. It took about ten hours, I'd say, though I didn't keep track.

I didn't read "1984" in high school, like many of my friends did. Somehow, it just never showed up on a required reading list, and now that I'm a more mature reader I'm quite glad of it. It's a philosophical, meandering story that requires an open mind and lots of time to turn all the ideas proposed over in your head.

I liked it a great deal, and it kept me from dying of boredom at work. :)
