"How could you communicate with the future? It was of its nature impossible. Either the future would resemble the present, in which case it would not listen to him, or it would be different from it, and his predicament would be meaningless."
-George Orwell, "1984"

Finally, I've decided to start reading again! With this highly acclaimed book! I hope it rekindles the joy of reading that has been screenjacked for so long.

Certainly not an easy, fun or entertaining read, but a necessary one in our current political moment and world climate. I would have given up on this book in high school but I‘ve lived enough now to understand it and see current scary parallels. I don‘t think our country will ever get to the point of 1984, but just seeing parallels right now is plenty scary enough. Glad I‘m reading it. #greatamericanread

CoffeeNBooks Great book! I've read it several times, and I teach it in my AP Literature class. 7y

RaimeyGallant The parallels are indeed scary. 7y
Cedricsmom I finished this classic on July 4. The book continues to blow my mind as I am still thinking about various passages written after Winston is taken into the Ministry of Love by the Party. O‘Brien is a fascinating character because he got the best, most thought-provoking lines in the book. I know a lot of people read this in high school but I didn‘t and I am so glad because I was way too clueless then to understand what makes this book incredible. 6y
