1984

Finished George Orwell's 1984 yesterday. I had never gotten around to reading it before this. Great and profound.

Surprisingly, I saw a lot of parallels between my own experiences and what goes on in the book. That was more than a little scary.

The whole thing about DOUBLETHINK was especially unsettling. People today do use this all the time - especially in the media. Not a good thing. Maybe if more people read this book, they would realize what they are doing and stop. I know I will be on the lookout so as to avoid being guilty of this myself.

If you haven't read 1984, then get hold of a copy and read it. If you have already read it, then read it again.
