‘Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows’

despite having all the usual flaws of a classic (sexism, racist undertones/descriptions) 1984 was the first classic, apart from ‘little women’, that i read, understood and enjoyed. it really is a good book, and i’m glad i picked it up again.
