I've read 1984, a couple times actually.  I don't know why I thought Julia would end any differently.  I have the same sickening dread in my heart now that I remember from the first time I read 1984.  Now it is worse given the state of the world.  This is really and truly happening now.  I need to re-read 1984 again now.

Also, incredibly disheartened by how many people around me hadn't read 1984 and had also never even heard of it.  HOW????  I guess that goes a long way to explaining the state of the current political climate down south.
