I didn't like Animal Farm, probably coz I was too young to understand it. I read it last year, I know it's not that long ago but since then I've learnt a lot more about the history surrounding the story.

thats true, you need to know quite alot about history to read AF i heard. you dont for 1984 tho, it seems to apply to everyone!

Hickie and Marshall are obsessed with both the books. They're good for powerplay they say. They put me off by talking about them so much!

i enjoyed brave new world more than 1984, but 1984 was brilliant none-the-less.

Indeed Marquez is a fucking brilliant writer.

Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides is probably among novels that i'd rate best ever.
