Everyone should read this book.
I’ve known about it my whole life and just never had to chance to sit down and read it.
I will say it wasn’t what I expected. I guess I was thinking there would be just… more? <I thought maybe Winston would lead a revolution and make a difference> but maybe that’s the whole point…
But I never knew what would happen next and was surprised more than once. This book has earned its classic status for sure.
