1984 seriously scared the shet out of me. One of the most depressing books I have ever read. Though interesting point on Newspeak and Orwell's essays on language. The only one I've read is Orwell's "Politics and the English Language" and he really advocates for the simplification of English. But at the same time, I don't think he's advocating for Newspeak because he portrays it so... negatively.
<3 Anne McCaffrey. Loved Pern. Except damn Jaxom and his white dragon. He just pissed me off all the time.
Scarlet Letter should be interesting in principle. I have always been meaning to read it.
As I Lay Dying is my personal enemy. Faulkner prose? EWWWICH.
