Current Events > Just bought a couple of Orwell books.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Literally in the airport lounge, got over an hour to wait till the gate opens, planned on watching/downloading a couple of Star Trek episodes and realised I forgot to pack any headphones.

Since I'm not enough of an arse to subject the public to my noise and nonsense while I'm waiting, I've bought Animal Farm and 1984.

Feel like an idiot, but I've been angling to get these books for a while, so, its not too bad.

Blogiest of blogfaqs, but since I'm saving them for the flight, my boredom still remains.

As long as you're not still in high school, you'll be okay. Otherwise, you're pretty much screwed up for life.

1984 is a good read ...one of the few books I've finished in like 2 sittings

I already know the basic gist of both plots. I'm just hoping experiencing the actual prose itself proves to be a an even richer, uh, experience.

And, no, 26 years old, long past high school.

I read 1984 in high school and now I'm screwed for life, constantly paranoid about the government tracking me and spies everywhere

But yeah I actually liked animal farm, didn't expect to but I did
