I have yet to read 1984, even after hearing so much about it over the years.


How do you NOT read 1984?

I saw a chick in a bakery once, wearing all black (in a stylish way), and reading 1984...
So fucking hot.

It is over-rated in a way. It's hard to get into, the writing's thick and the perspective very singular. You really have to be craving some specific social commentary to be able to accept it, and want to read it.


Anyway, book club would be coooool. I don't know if I'd participate, just because I don't have a library card here. But if I get a chance to buy whatever book is being done for the month I'd go for it.
