Really like it, I've never actually read books, and I started reading this due to my class english assignment.

I never knew books were so relaxing and interesting....

Nothing compares to books man.

Movies are simple and being simple they can't tell a story the way books can.

Books take time but that's a small price to pay for what they give in return.

Seems like a cool book, kind of reminds me of 1984.
Going to check it out some time.

It basically is 1984, though I was able to immerse myself better in Orwell's dystopia than Huxley's. Not my type o' read either way though.

Calling BNW a cool book is the understatement of the milennium! :D

Like I said in some other post of yours:

it's maybe one of the most complex books there are, and if you can digest it then you're up to anything, which is good.

Try these:

Animal Farm
The Lonelinees of the Long Distance Runner
The Old Man and the Sea
At the Mountains of Madness

I mean... there are so many books you can read and dream about.

Huxley was a genius. One of the finest minds to ever put pen to paper.

Brave ne world gave me a new look on life but it was probably the hardest book I've ever read, mostly because of how well written it really was.
