The other day I finished reading 1984 by George Orwell aka Eric Arthur Blair. This book pretty much only has two levels: depressing and disturbing. In an exaggerated way this is the definitive book about the government taking over the lives of its people. Although this was written as a futuristic book the technology mentioned in the book plays out as kind of minor reoccurring characters. I was a bit disappointed with how some of the story progressed because it was so predictable, but the story as a whole is still a good read.
The most interesting development from this book is that Sarah has started reading it. There aren’t a lot of fiction books that Sarah and I have read in common so it should be fun to compare our impressions of the book after she is done with it.
