Default Re: Serious reading

It's truly a great book -- I did a report on it in high school via skit and basically got to invoke Agent Smith mannerisms. XD

But really, it's a short, enjoyable read with some great theme/character development that, in one way or another, puts forth interesting takeaways for the readers.

1984 is pretty much the archetype for Dystopian novels, and it's not for everyone. I personally didn't love nor hate it, but I think it's something everyone probably *should* read.

Brave New World is awesome. In my HS psych class, I used it to bring forth a sort of troll-debate that threw the rest of the class period into a massive tangent: If you were programmed to *really, really* enjoy cleaning **** for a living, would you live such a life? In that role, you would be happy... but you'd be cleaning ****.
