But iβve bought it
I just need to start
It's a great read
Read it a few years ago when I was like 14
Yea I was just wondering if itβs a good read
easily misunderstood. People misquote Orwell everyday. @Stresbal I finished it literally in an afternoon after class. Couldn't put it down.
Damn
Sounds like a good written book
Iβll go start it
Also check out Fahrenheit 451 by Bradbury. Very similar theme.
Whats it about?
Also the alternate society
In Fahrenheit 451, all books are seen as dangerous, and the 'Firemen' of the town are tasked with burning any homes if one is found.
GG @Puerto Rican Nelson, you just advanced to level 19!
451 degrees Fahrenheit being the temperature that standard book paper burned.
Ah
No free speech
Orwell's 1984 is more complex in the issues it explores, but Fahrenheit's singular message I found more compelling.
Is 1984 not kinda old fashioned? Or is it still applicable on current times
It does. Oceania was left a little bit mysterious to keep the setting timeless. You learn a lot, but it's far from enough.
1984 is much more complex
Due to how little the book tells you about the world of 1984
Even animal farm gets bastardized, sadly.
What's one example you've seen?
Whats animal farm about?
everyone and their mother using "Some animals are more equal than others" quote wrongly.
Just became a platitude.
@Stresbal political Charlotte's Web.
Ahh
Pls beg
Pls bal

Dumping trillions into war when our people are sick and hungry is crazy
Letting insurance companies and big pharma be in control of our healthcare and wellbeing is crazy
Punishing people with crippling debt for getting educated is crazy
Not paying people a living wage, leading them to work multiple jobs (and STILL struggling to make ends meet) is crazy
Americans being forced to travel to other countries (often third world shitholes) to get medical care is crazy
The war on drugs is crazy
