A great book but clearly written by a man. 1984 had me feeling nauseous, anxious and spiral into philosophical discussions with myself. Not sure why exactly but it really got a visceral reaction out of me every time I picked it up. Mostly the ending had me in a choke and I needed to take a break between some chapters to continue forwards.
