1984


I just finised reading 1984 by George Orwell. I know, I know, most everyone read this book in High School. I didn't. I picked it up to read because I had every intention of joining our local ACLU Banned Books Book Club a couple of Wednesdays ago as they reviewed and disussed 1984. Well, didn't make the meeting but did finish the book even though it took me an unusally long time to read it.

However, I find it hard to believe a 12th grader would be able to fully understand all the poltical themes running throughout the book, many of which are most relevant today.

Read this if you haven't!

Its been so long since I read it, I can't remember much about it. But I was in high school and it was definitely tough. Now that, I remember. Maybe I will give it another shot as an adult.
