I think he was a prophet of sorts.

Also I would do him. Totes.

Just re-read Animal farm for first time in 50 years, and was sadly disappointed in it.

He wasn’t wrong but..
the pigs are in the farm house, walking on hind legs, sleeping in beds, with clean sheets..

I am trying not to be pretentious, but I found it naive, simplistic, and blindingly obvious where it was going.

I still think 1984 a great read. His Homage to Catalonia the best 'war diary' i have ever read.

@ArthurP you put into words the uncomfortable feeling I got from animal farm. It seemed a bit on the nose.
