# bullshit
Nineteen Eighty-Four (the title is not numeric, and considering you've been having a go at people for being lazy with their english you should know better) is far superior. animal farm is a great book, and an incredibly intelligent analogy, but not as good as eighty-four

down and out is a difficult read, but well worth the effort

# I did know it was not numeric, but I forgot :P
I like Animal Farm because of the fact that I'm a history student. I study it anyway.
Nineteen Enighty-Four is entirely fictitious, despite its similarities with the world today, and I don't like it as much.
Maybe YOU like it more, but I don't.

# psst
Animal farm is also completely fictitious, it is just based around events in Russia and the USSR in the 20th century.

eighty-four is also more inventive and more structured.

# Animal Farm is the story of the Russian Revolution
just substituting the characters and settings.

I agree 1984 (oh shut up) is more inventive, and I repsect the fact that you like it more, but I don't.

# it's not just the revolution
it's a good 50 years starting with marx's original theories and ending with the start of the downfall of the USSR.

but it's still fictional. as i said up there ^^^^ somewhere, it's a fantastic political analogy, but it is (deliberately) far from the facts.
if it wasn't it wouldn't have stood the test of time. I first read it when i was about 8, and obviously didn't get any of the political references. also, if it was the full story of the revolution it'd be dull. as apart from the major events (which are all referenced) it was (as most revs are) quite dull
