If you post the generic information "Orwell", which is all that "The Complete Works" really points to, then the discussion will only be a boo-vs.-yay thread about Orwell-in-general. This is not so interesting, and that sort of thread usually degrades pretty quickly.
What you should do instead is post the most uncorrelated/curious article by Orwell (or maybe about him) that you can find—preferably something that highlights some little-discussed or surprising aspect. Then the hivemind has something fibrous to chew on.
This is an application of the principles "lists don't make great HN submissions" [1] and "generic subjects are less interesting" [2].
