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?

Bowie made a Musical for the book.
It was sad because the widow of George Orwell opposed him from using "1984".
The album with the scheduled songs was "Diamond Dogs".

@Pfuzylogic: Oh my. Bowie would do that. 😝

@SimplyTracie: There is an uncensored version of the Album cover where his lower half is a dog with exposed genitals. He was required to censor it.

@Pfuzylogic: I don't like Bowie and his music.

@SimplyTracie: I can totally understand that. His releases were created to be uncomfortable.
The album motivated me to read 1984 when I was 15.

@Pfuzylogic: I needed to put the book down for a few days (as was suggested).

@SimplyTracie: If you like comedy, "Brazil" was released in 1985 and stars Robert DeNiro, Bob Hoskins, and
Michael Plain from Monty Python.
It can take the bumps out of the "read".
