1984.

[PowerEnglish]

I am finally giving 1984 a read! I've tried before but could not get into it. However, it's a classic so I feel as though I am obliged to read it!

I would be glad to hear how you found it and your opinions of it if you have already read it... Avoiding spoilers where possible!

I've read it. Good book for reading. I like books of that kind although there are so small deal of it worth of reading. And there is always problem with time you have. Some of things from that book had (have) very real reflection in real life. Just think about country with communist regime as only government. And as I live in country that had in the past regime like that I sustained some things for myself. Country like North Korea can represent some staff from book in real life. It is always interesting for me read news from that country. It is like information from another planet. Although I have to say people in that country suffer from government.

What about China ? Decades ago, Orwell exactly predicted what's happening in China now

I read it in Spanish when I was a kid. Now I've got Animal Farm in English but I've read just the preface so far.

I think Orwell was talking about totalitarianism no matter what ideology. I see many stuff of 1984 in all places, even in those countries who call themselves "the free world".

Great book. I also recommended Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, The Time Machine by H.G. Wells. Even though it is no a post-apocalyptic or distopia, why not having a go to Thomas More's Utopia?

I read it long time ago, a lot of people say that it is relevant to nowadays, so I' d like to read again anyway.

Without further ado, I love this book

[CoolBerth]

This is my favorite book, I have already reread it twice, it always opens my eyes

[Resichey]

At first, I thought this book was boring and too strange, but then I couldn't put it down. I wanted to scream about the rat cage in the climax.1984 interested me so much that I continued to read the author.

I think it is definitely worth reading. I read it twice and even wrote an essay about this book in college. To help me with my writings I use AHelp.com, AI tools help to achieve writing efficiency and significantly boost the productivity. These tools help brainstorm ideas, create drafts, and even refine language, allowing writers to focus more on creativity and less on repetitive tasks. For example, on refining and editing rather than starting from scratch.

I read it twice. The first time was when I was a teenager, and I was probably quite naive because I thought the book, while interesting, had no connection to reality. The second time I read it was two years ago, and I was impressed. If you read this book while drawing parallels to modern circumstances, it comes across as incredibly frightening.
