I haven't read it before.
I have just finished re-reading 1984. One of my favourite books.

The year that Fritzl first incarcerated his daughter apparently.

keeping track of characters in russian novels is a pain in the hole.

Ever since having to do that for year 12 English, I've loathed that book.
The most dreary, depressing thing I've ever read.

its good in places, but too may soirees and that to keep my interested

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Wed 9 Nov 2011, 9:03, Reply)

I'm going to a soiree for NYE.
It's going to be FAR more fun than the soirees found in 1984.
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 9 Nov 2011, 9:06, Reply)

i think you might be confused i was talking about war and peace
the only soiree in nineteen eightyfour is the one with the headcage full fo rats
(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Wed 9 Nov 2011, 9:11, Reply)

I thought you were talking about 1984, sorry!
And that scene was horrid.
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 9 Nov 2011, 9:13, Reply)

dunno which version you was reading but there wasn't any soirees in the one i read

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Wed 9 Nov 2011, 9:14, Reply)

Sounds better than the books we had to study
Granted, it was year 11, but we had to do Catcher In The Rye and Wuthering Heights. After WH, I was able to admit that it was a good book, but that I don't think I'll ever read it again. CITR can get to fuck.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 9 Nov 2011, 9:11, Reply)

Wuthering Heights is gay.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 9 Nov 2011, 9:12, Reply)

That's why I doubt I'll ever read it again

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 9 Nov 2011, 9:13, Reply)

it
(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Wed 9 Nov 2011, 9:30, Reply)

I had to do CITR too.
Didn't enjoy it or get into it at all. I'm glad I didn't have to do WH because I feel that would have ruined a classic for me and I'm on a real classics kick lately.
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 9 Nov 2011, 9:14, Reply)

It really is terrible, isn't it?
I can't blame you for not wanting to do Wuthering Heights though.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 9 Nov 2011, 9:15, Reply)

it ruined it for me
I had to do it for school and enjoyed reading it the first time. However after weeks of tedious scrutiny I realised that most of the characters were cunts.

Heathcliff was quite entertaining in how much of an utter bastard he actually was

Steals his foster brothers house, drives people to death, mistreats people, etc

I've only read 'Animal Farm' of his
Is 1984 worth a read?
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 9 Nov 2011, 9:12, Reply)

Definitely.

No. It's awful.
Dreary, dull, mechanically written, I mean yes obviously you're supposed to feel as Winston Smith does but the end of the book is just fucking depressing as all get out. Don't bother with it.
