I did it! I started on my book list!
I recently finished reading 1984. What a book! I don't want to give away too much, so I wont play fast and loose with the plot. However, I will say that I quite enjoyed the read in an appropriately darkly reverent way. I can't help thinking that this book will change my general thoughts on many things. The parallels to modern governments are many and I don't mean that in a good way. Still, even though the overall feeling that I had while reading was one of failing hope, and I do love my hope, I am glad of the read and of the incites that this book offered.
Now, I'm on to reading To Kill a Mockingbird. I read this one when I was in grade school under duress, and I can't say that I read all of it or that I enjoyed any of it. That said, I'm glad that I'm looking at it with new eyes and I think that this time around I may change my original opinions.
Wish me luck!
