1984

Matt PwNs · 09-21-2006, 03:07 PM

I thought I'd make this thread, simply because I know have 1984 posts. I know this is a book by George Orwell as well (lol?) and was wondering if it is any good. I've heard lots about it, but never really anything that made me want to pick it up.

V for Vendetta ehh? I gotta check this book out. Im in the middle of Gandhi's autobiography.. if anyone has the interest you ought to give it a look. Glad to see people on this forum enjoy something other than gaming and flaming

Very good book. I really got into it, I had to read it my junior year of highschool, but I loved it.

one of my favorite books. it was amazing. the beggining is a little slow n boring but it gets amazing if u can get past it.

yeah its really good. standard orwellian fare. books similara would include aldous huxleys' brave new world and fahrenheit 451, clockwork orange (to a certain degree). mainly talks about ideas of utopia/perfect society, big brother, and big parallels to communism. i would suggets animal farm too, as it is almost a mirror image of the russian revolution. a really good book.

there's a movie also that's pretty well done.

hell ya! It f*cking rules!
Pretty confusing at times but just like Spartan said, V for Vendetta came from it basically which made me really happy and made me enjoy it even more!
I just saw V for Vendetta finally last friday lol.
Seriously reccomend it
