 you are an exceptionally alert lady, now you point it out i remember and damn if i need to have a hard copy to read again

that book was pivotal in my educational career... the english teacher refused to let me, the only interested student in the class, to suggest we do a book report on it

said english teacher proceeded to fuck with me in ways that orwell would have predicted... and made me arc up like i was carrying 2000V of electricity

i didn't get my degree in CS because of this, pretty much, but it was worth it, i was already half qualified AT THAT POINT (and now i'm phd material)
