Reading/Re-reading Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Let me start by saying if you haven't read Nineteen Eighty-Four, stop right now and get yourself a copy. The paperback version is currently sold out on Amazon (I wonder why) and will take a few weeks to come in; but the Kindle version is readily available and the software to read it is free. I suspect there might be a shortage at book stores and your library probably has a waiting list.


Anyway, I first read this story on my own during college (during the Bush 2 years) and started to re-read it a few days ago. Anyone else decide to start reading this [again] since Donald got "elected?"


Preemptive warning: They'll probably be many spoilers ahead for those who haven't read it.
