| In the last few months, I read George Orwell's 1984. And I very, very much enjoyed it. I know a few other people who enjoy the book too, but I know that a lot of different people get different things out of the book. A lot of people really enjoy the very political content in the book, for example, while others do not. So I was wondering, if you've read 1984, what was it that you liked best about the book? What I liked best, is that it SCARED me.  It scared me both in terms of the book, and then also in real life, in the way that we are monitored... perhaps not through telescreens, but still monitored.....It's not often a book really scares me. I like the political stuff, and I like the dark, cyberpunk feel of the book, but I gotta admit, what I liked best of all was the way it made me feel. Like I said, it scared me. Who else has read the book. What did you like best? |

| Yeah, I bought it at a bookstore in maryland. I liked it, but not as much as Animal Farm. In retrospect, it scared me too, the prospect of the po pos busting in on the guy and girl at any minute. The ending just got to me, Spoiler: that after reading the whole book, they just got fucked over |

| I liked it quite thoroughly. Orwell's a great writer, I have a book compiling stuff he wrote all through his life - he was more than just dystopian fables. | |||

| I vaguely remember reading it in High School, and that says a lot. I'm one that doesn't read a lot (past a very very small amount of interests) and especially something you'll find in hardback or that you need to do for a class. This was one of the options in reading material I remember having to do. The whole Big Brother concept I'm pretty sure that the actual show attempted to use. That aside, if humanity does get that far out of whack... [shudders] And I want to say it was based on the one Brave New World thing that was shown a while back...but maybe I'm mixing things. |

| I haven't read 1984, but Animal Farm and it was very intersting and I enjoyed it very much, but I have to say I doesn't read often, because we read this book with our class in the german lesson and after finishing the book, we wrote an interpretation. |
