Loved 1984, loved Animal Farm just as much. Really wish we'd read this in school. Absolutely 10/10, very glad I got it off my Classics list.

This is another book I had never gotten around to. It was a quick, afternoon read that left me more emotional than I expected. Glad I experienced it as an adult rather than as a teen. I have much more life/political experience now so I was able to pick up on all of the nuances.
