1984


Well, I read 1984 by George Orwell. Finished it on my lunch break today. I won't give it away for those of you who haven't read it, but I will say that it is a very good book. However, I was a bit disappointed by the ending. I guess now as I think about it though, it is very fitting. When you consider the time it was written, 1950 I think, the book is amazing. It forcasts a totalitarian government, with the people under the constant watchful eye of "Big Brother". There are many comparisons you can draw to today's society, although some of the comparisons I find to be a little far fetched.

    I need to pick this up. It is one of the many books I was supposed to read for like 100 different classes in college and never did.
