Hello, I am a younger reader and usually enjoy fiction/fantasy books. A few months ago I read 1984 by George Orwell after briefly hearing good things about it. Although there were quite a lot of dull moments for me, I often think about this book and how it applies to things around me- something I have never done. I would like to know if anyone else has also thought of this book in a similar way and would like to share their opinions.
Edit: Hello everyone! Thank you so much for all your comments. I have read all of them, upvoted most and would love to reply to all but I simply do not have the time or energy. I am very sorry about that. You all have very interesting views and are well spoken. Also, thank you for all the recommendations! “Brave New World” and “Fahrenheit 451” are the ones I have seen the most and I will be picking up copies soon.
