just in case you ever think stalinism would be a good idea.

you could also read brave new world but it's a bit crap.

Oh, a book I always seem to enjoy while I'm reading it, but have never actually managed to finish is Conrad's Nostromo. Have never worked that one out.

As is Road to Wigan Pier. I recently re-read A Clergyman's Daughter, which I wouldn't recommend.

Cool, but I wouldn't go to too great a length. They aren't really that great, and you probably know the story of 1984 anyway. Big Brother, Room 101, and all that.

your loss!!

demonrail666 06.24.2008 08:28 PM

LOL. There are people that ask to see it and have to be informed that it's no longer the same building, but that they do have the chair. Oh the heartbreak on their naively utopian little faces.
