I know it by reputation and I could probably give you a good idea of the plotline, but oddly enough...no. I've never read it.

There are many who speak of it as the political future ohmy.gif

I've read 1984. It's ok - it is a classic, and is probably worth reading for that reason, but I think a far better novel (or at least one that had the biggest impact on me) is Orwell's Coming Up For Air. You can see this novel as a first in a "trilogy" - the next ones would be Animal Farm and 1984.

Orwell's 1984 is a literary classic. Love it or loath it - it's still a classic that resonates now more than ever.

Sorry to bump an old thread but it had to be said.

Orwell is an amazing writer, forget the other in my opinion.

Animal Farm was my favourite


What do you think about Gre Iles... Turning Angel. ?
eartha
I think Animal Farm is a great book. My favourite Orwell books are Coming Up For Air and Homage to Catalonia. Never heard of Turning Angel

I've still not read it...I figure I don't need to. The book seems to be becoming real in the UK anyway. biggrin.gif

READ IT.

One of the best books I have ever read, a lecture on tyranny, a testament to the power of love and a tragic tale of betrayal all in one. A work of genius.
