[ihatepop]

Has anyone here ever read this book before? Its 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell. i think it a GREAT book, and the way Orwell described his feelings towards Stalin was wonderful.

Yes I have read it, albet in a relatively long time ago. I did thoroughly enjoy it. I suggest you also read his "1984."

[ihatepop]

I know. I'm looking for it in the library, and I'm dieing to read it, but I haven't found it yet.

I LOVE that book.
Partially cos it's actually a really great book, (and partially cos I actually understood it)!

[arensky]

Just went looking for it to reread it and can't find it. 

Oh well it's somewhere here in this mess.


Truly one of the great books of all time, and sadly very true in it's assesment of the human social/political condition. Absolute power will corrupt absolutely.


Unless I have it! 

You can trust ME.....

oh...I found '1984' on the internet. At 100+ pages on the computer, this is going to ruin my eyes.

Isn't it a myth that watching a screen hurts your eyes?

Sure, its not as comfortable. But hurt or damage?



You can get electronic pads which you can use to display digital books and read them almost like real paper, or so is claimed.

The current political climate in the US eerily mirrors both Animal Farm and 1984.It's getting scarier by the minute. "Big Brother" is definitely watching since no one ever asks "what happened to the milk and apples."

[ihatepop]

Yes, Orwell was a genius in Allegories. He interprets them so well.
