Default 1984

just started re-reading this. i was younger when i first read it, and i liked the book then, but re-reading now i can relate to it more. Orwell's vision is more relevant than ever. i suggest everybody pick up a copy and start reading it, even if you have read it before.



this is the place to post any discussions about 1984

Read this last year, loved it :O

I didn't expect it to end with
]Winston losing the battle...
way to go Orwell.

By the way if you haven't read the book SPOILER ALERT

It really irks me the way he uses "have got to..." instead of "have to". It's one thing to have it in dialogue to be colloquial, but it just reads weird throughout the rest of the text.
