Brilliant! And I’m glad I’ve finally read both of Orwell’s great works.

I have finally read 1984. It just took me a few years to pick it up. My rating is leaning more toward 3.5 more than 3.

I enjoyed the book. I really don't know how to express my feelings about it yet. But I did enjoyed it.

Doua romane clasice. Exista unele romane care vor ramane intodeauna de actualitate.

Animal Farm is reviewed here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

1984 - a terrifying look into the future that seems more possible with each passing day. The writing still stands up, and though 1984 is long in the past, and we still aren't quite living the the horrid oligarchy of Engsoc - we have traveled too far down the path for comfort. I'm pinning my hopes on the proletariat, and hoping I'm not wrong.

Aninal Farm was entertaining until I kept on finding the similarities with Venezuela. It was like the history of the last 15-20 years of the country told in the form of a fable and written decades earlier.

1984: this was worse than watching a horror movie (which I hate) because while in a movie I'm always aware it's fiction, the book kept on confusing me making me feel I was actually going through a factual piece. Only specific elements got me out of it. The biggest impressions happened while reading "The Book" in part 2 and feeling like I was reading history of the world. You realize we live in a scary and predictable world when it can get mixed up with a fiction book from more than half a century ago.

P.S. What a wonderful analysis of the language he makes in the Appendix describing Newspeak. The structure, the sounds, the meanings... it only makes me want to read more of everything and question, think, break rules, widen my vocabulary. Anything that takes me in the opposite direction of becoming an Ingsoc kind of...thinker?

Really enjoyed it! One of the best that I have had to study for English class.

Too true. So scary.

Although very familiar with both Animal Farm and 1984, I’m not sure I’ve ever read either. Stephen Fry narrated them brilliantly. 1984 a bit of a bad choice in the midst of petrol shortages in UK! I’m sure such a bleak future can be avoided though

Foi uma releitura do clube do livro que, na verdade, senti como se fosse a primeira vez lendo.

A experiência foi totalmente diferente, as associações e sentimentos também, mas igualmente impactantes como na primeira leitura.

George Orwell permanece atemporal.

Men altså inni søren???

Likte ikke denne like godt som 1984… bare føltes mye mer enkel og mindre flesha ut, også syns jeg ikke karakterene var like gripende… bra den er kort, anbefaler å lese den før 1984, som en liten introduksjon eller noe… kul ide da, minner meg om flukten fra hønsegården (neimen sånn uironisk)

Animal farm is a symbolic remarkable story. 1983 I have read it previously
