1984

In high school I read parts for class-- only now did I read the whole thing. I underestimated the length of the Afterword/Appendix so I was not expecting the story to end when it did because it seemed I still had such a sizable clump of paper between the fingers of my right hand. The ending came up so suddenly and kicked me in the face. After I turned the page and saw there was no story left I literally said out loud "fuck, son".

No wonder this is a classic. For those of you who think they read it but really only skimmed it for school-- read it eventually. God damn it's powerful. Part 1 was my favorite. Part 3 seemed to drag on and get redundant but then I realized that's the entire point. Also I thought it was awesome that it included within itself excerpts from the book enabling Orwell spit his philosophy right out in front of the reader in an analytical fashion without taking anything away from the story.

9/10...took 2 days to read cover to cover. Left me with that empty "I wish I knew more" feeling combined with the dark apathy that was the theme throughout.

"To die hating them, that was freedom."

Steven King's The Stand 10//10

End the Fed by Ron Paul

Slaughterhouse-Five - Kurt Vonnegut

Amazing. 10/10.

My favorite book of all time
