I Love Books
Just finished Brave New World by Aldous Huxley! It was fantastic and very interesting.

If you haven't read either one yet, I suggest Ayn Rand's "Anthem", and if you liked that, "Atlas Shrugged". Anthem is a bit more difficult to locate, but worth the effort. Atlas Shrugged is an excellent book, although a bit tedious in a few places. After reading that one a couple of years ago, I consider Rand a prophet or a clairvoyant, because everything she wrote about is coming true.

I haven't read either of them, but I'll check them out. Thanks for the suggestions :)

The only Ayn Rand book I read was anthem. I'm not really a fan of her works, but I understand people's need for freedom.

Did true love prevail a test???
Faeriegrrl · 26-30, F
No, there's no focus on "true love" in this book.

Isn't it about a futuristic world where people are forced into promiscuity and a man and a woman run away to be a couple???
Faeriegrrl · 26-30, F
People aren't exactly forced to be promiscuous, they are raised to believe "everyone belongs to everyone else" so satisfying another's sexual needs is polite and expected. And a man and his mother leave the "reservation", a place where old cultures are left alone by the rest of the world. The man does fall in love with a woman from outiside the reservation but is later disgusted at the promiscuous behavior he wasn't raised in and so is disgusted by her.

1984 is great, but Brave New World is good to. A more in depth negative utopia
