Have you ever read "1984?"

I read it years ago. I am rereading it. It is really good!
It is as thought he traveled in time to 2022 and then wrote his fantastic novel.
yes and Fahrenheit 451 also .. they kinda go together..

George Orwell had incredible insights, 1984 for exactly the reason you state, it’s like he’s travelled forward in time. His other novels are a good read too - have you read down and out in Paris and London? I enjoyed that one 😎👍

@Chrisy3 No. Apparently I should read "Brave new World" and the book you mentioned.

Yes, as a teenager. I liked it. I watched the movie too but of course, I was disenchanted how different it all was from what I imagined. 😆

@CrazyMusicLover For me, after reading the book, usually the movie is a letdown.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@ProfessorPlum77 Yes, that happens almost all the time.
Huxley’s brave new world is prolly more in tune with today..

Take your free crack pipe and be happy 😁

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I am not sure if I read that.

Yes, it's a book I think every adult should read. I re-read it every few years. Last time was a couple of years ago.

@PhilDeep Excellent.

I also read it years ago. Still have a copy of it. Might follow your example and re-read it.

@Rutterman Great!

What a fantastic read! Remember how it ends?
ProfessorPlum77 · 70-79, MVIP
@ShimaDust No. It has been YEARS ago since I first read it.
ShimaDust · 51-55, F
@ProfessorPlum77 Exciting! Let me know what you think when you finish?
ProfessorPlum77 · 70-79, MVIP
@ShimaDust Sure. As long as I remember.
it wasnt an easy read.. kinda boring. i liked the 2x movies better

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I am on page fifty or so. Right now, things are moving along quickly.

I read Brave New World, but never ended up reading 1984 in school
ShimaDust · 51-55, F
@DDonde you should give it a try! It’s a bit dense at times, but we’ll deserving it’s praise

@DDonde I don't remember if I read "Brave New World."
