1984

I consider it a failing of my education that I never had to read this in all my years of schooling. I should have gotten around to it earlier, but whatever. Now I've read it and I can have a fuller appreciation of all the references to it.

There's not a lot to say because it's all been said before. It was troubling and intense, if a little slow at times. It feels all too real and, at the same time, hard to wrap your brain around. I'm glad to have read it and I'm sure I'll read it again at a different stage of life.
