i just read 1984!! its a very interesting, thought provoking
book... i was sad at the end but it left me thinking!! i am
about to start reading 'catch 22' which my brother says is
quality

catch22s really good
after i finished i kept wanting to answer questions in the
strange ways that the conversations in the book go.but no
one ever sets up questions to be answered like that.

"when did you call me"
"i never called you"
"when?
"i allways never called you"

thats the best part about the book, the conversations

the selfish gene is my favorite book, but nobody cares what
my favorite book is, similarly to how I don't care what
anyone else's favorite book is, except for the few people
who aren't retarded.

is catch 22 bradbury?
i actually recall liking farenheit 451!

when i first read 1984, i was in grade four.
there was a copy around the house, and i remember having to
go to the dictionary all the time!
i cried when i finished it, cuz it was the first time in my
life where the good guy didn't win!
he he he

the selfish gene?
what is it and who did it?

rez> have you read aldous huxley's 'brave new world'?
or Yvgenny Zammyatin's 'WE'
the former inspired huxley and orwell to write their
distopia novels!
check those two out if you haven't already!!

'brave new world' contains lot of (black) humor and because
of that it is much easier to read.
Nothing funny in 1984.

as that selfish gene book.

I'm reading a few Descartes biographies and a T.S. Eliot
compilation at the same time.

Descartes was 5'1", slept in the nude, and never got up
before 11.

"catch 22" is by Joseph Heller.

"Nineteen Eighty-four" is on of my favourite books.
