I was fascinated by the language, the use of English, the poems and those terrible creatures...Many years past and then the movie was made....exactly as I had imagine it when reading the book. My second book is the Bible, thou not for religious reasons, but as I soiurce of information the misticisme around it: I ususally read it in Latin as my mother tongue is Spanish is quite easy for me. vianna777: "Foster - Destroying The System" Here is the link of the ebook: http://issuu.com/murilovianna/docs/fosterdestroyingthesystem jsjosephsousa: 84's a fascinating read, teaching us about propaganda from one of Britain's master in creating it. Orwell also wanted to eliminate all the non-white as well as whites not "mentally fit" (criteria?) and/or "feeble" (criteria?). It's interesting that a frenzied euthanasia advocate's writing is widely distributed and in a lot of course syllabi in the west. Most of his writings, especially in the later years, dwelled on this alone. But he didn't target Jewish people, like Hitler, so it's all cool. seahunt: My Grandmother gave me 1984 when I was a kid, along with War of the Worlds, Princess of Mars, and a few other classics...

I like to read detective and UFO or something like that, I think they are great | Books Chat Room Similar Conversations |
