Check out Brave New World too! I find it more entertaining, and it seems to be in color 🤣

What I find amazing about it, is that much of what Aldous Huxley describes had not been invented, or even conceived of, when he wrote it in 1931. Test tube babies, miniature golf, helicopters, parties where people listen to electronic music while taking drugs and having sex are some examples that stand out. 

 Agreed. Far more entertaining 🙌 

 it’s excellent, and for more terror after reading it, check out the film version actually made in 1984 

 Is that movie good? 

 I really liked it.. it adds another dimension to the book 

 Must read. If that's true it's news to me. I'm about 80% finished (it's the most dense section so far).  

 Animal farm is up next 

 Wait, is 1984 actually banned in some places inside the USA? 

 Great book, btw  

 And Erik is right, it’s a good read 

 Who banned it? I mean I can understand that they would, but they were still encouraging kids to read it when my wife was in school 15 years ago 

 really ? must be the school.. I was in school at that same time n didn’t get encouraged by the school to read it 

 I mean even when I was in school 25 years ago, it wasn’t required even in AP literature classes, but it was on lists of recommended reads to get credit for… we were recently talking about good books for my teenage son to read and she had said that she read it in one of her high school classes because it was recommended. 

 That’s crazy I wish I knew about it back then!! 🤯 

 Open up 

 I thought 1984 was required reading in high school  

 It was for many schools. I’ve seen it go from required reading to banned during my own children’s education. Luckily, they all chose to read it anyway. 🙌🙏 

 Great book
