Orwell has NOTHING to do with the Beat Generation. 1984 is excellent though.

I will just say that On The Road is my favourite book of all time, and Kerouac is my favourite writer along with Philip K Dick.

Burroughs is alright, but don't waste your time with him...there are many many better authors out there. Just watch Cronenberg's film Naked Lunch, it's way better than the book.
