I recommend this book to everyone.. It's available free to read online. So far, surprisingly, it's also still available in most public libraries. And if you have ADHD, the full movie is below, which gives you the basic idea.

This should be required reading for every American. When George wrote it, it was considered fiction.. As I read it, it appears to be more like a blueprint.

ADHD is a farce... as for 1984, I remember when that was decades off in the future...

A wonderful book and very true in this day.

Think about the term politically incorrect as you read 1984.

 

[overlordsshadow]

I've been trying for years now to get others that I know to read it. Even my parents aren't taking the time to read it. At least they are starting to prep.

I agree that 1984 should be required reading. I would also add Orwell's Animal Farm and Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged to the list of required reading.

 

[overlordsshadow]

Animal farm and 1984 were required reading in my grade 12 English classes and they both came up in my first two Univeristy english classes. Too bad we didn't really get into them critically, and compare them to what was happening today.

"I agree that 1984 should be required reading. I would also add Orwell's Animal Farm and Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged to the list of required reading."

So true. But today the brainwashed teachers/professors make them read
"I have 2 mommies" or "My Daddy has a Friend" and other such ilk.

 

[overlordsshadow]

That was damned funny albertjohnson

 

[Ford Prefect]

mmmm 2 mommies..

 

[MRbungle]

haha.. If someone ISN'T a Bill Hicks fan, then they have no idea what real humor and sarcasm is.. =)

My daughter read 1984 last year in school.

She didnt seem to take the book too seriously, kids these days are too hard to impress.

They are growing up with the internet, video games, lots if media in their face 24/7. Jaded and cynical before they are out of high school. Combine that with all the advanced curiculum in most high schools, the classes my daughter takes now would have been college courses when I was in school!

They are worse than our generation, kids today really are frightening because they do indeed think they know it ALL.

I read it when I was 13....or 14??...when the internet started to boom, read it again for checking again some interesting things......and suddenly the picture started to be more clearly seen...it´s not a nation issue. It´s a worldwide...attempt..?
