I Read 1984

I haven't started reading the book yet but I think I should.

I just heard the word doublethink from George Orwell's novel and probably read it soon.

Have you read the book?

Yup. Really really good book. Animal Farm is also good but I think 1984 might be easier to understand since it's more applicable now.

@Demon: I read about 30 minutes of the first chapter and it wasn't interesting at all. 😬

@SimplyTracie: Good books usually start out in a boring way. If you like 1984 you might also like Brave New World.

@Demon: Hopefully tonight I'll finish the first chapter

@SimplyTracie: Don't let first chapters turn you off. Gotta read about three chapters to get a feel for a book....Big Brother is watching you!

@Harmonium1923: Eek 😬 Maybe I shouldn't read it.
