Review: 1984

1984 by George Orwell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It was an enjoyable and scary read.

Having read Animal Farm, as I was reading this, I couldn't stop myself from thinking why Orwell was against Socialism so much. I still don't know the answer.

But, IF, he was someone motivated to propagate for capitalism and against socialism, he did an amazing job of highlighting what can go wrong if totalitarian governments are allowed to be.

Though a lot of it we're even seeing in capitalist governemnts.

Review: The Importance of Being Earnest: A Trivial Comedy for Serious People

The Importance of Being Earnest: A Trivial Comedy for Serious People by Oscar Wilde
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A delightful read. Engaging enough to keep you hooked, and humorous enough to keep you laughing.

Wilde puts a bit of himself in all of his characters. His wit, his graceful, splendid, elegant ridiculousness pinches and tickles the reader at the same time. Very enjoyable read.
