Have you ever read 1984?

1984 by George Orwell

Ever read this book? I read it when I was about 14 years old...still wondering if it came true...

I've read it numerous times. On the first read I hated it. Now I consider it my all-time favourite book.

I read it very recently and loved it so much. I read it through pure leisure rather than schoolwork. The ending was just ... I mean, I saw it coming, but it was still so bizarre, y'know?

 

[Alienfish]

Yeah, must have been 13-14 years ago maybe. I think I can recall that I enjoyed it, but I should definitely try read it again.

 

[nintendofan85]

Sadly, no, even though I really should.

 

[softbuck]

ive read it for class. it def made me think and consider the current events. wasnt the best writing wise, but is a great thinking piece

 

[Zane]

Yeah I originally bought it because of Diamond Dogs hahaha but it turned out to be one of the novel selections for my English 12 course anyway so I think that's when I read it and then had to write a gigantic dumb essay about it.

I had to read it in high school. I thought the concept behind the book was cool but I couldn't stand the way it was written

Great book. I need to read it again.

I know I had to read it in school, but I can't say I really remember anything about it. XD I was a slackers and only concentrated on things that personally interested me so...

I read it at school. I saw a picture a while ago of a blue commemorative plaque on the wall of the house George Orwell lived in when he wrote the book. Beside it, mounted on the wall, was a security camera. Yes George Big Brother is watching you.

 

[visibleghost]

no i never read. maybe one day if i get better or something but atm it really sucks to read

 

[Soigne]

I voted no, but just recently I have read it (I forgot about it whoops). For some reason, my high school didn't use 1984 as a required reading & I certainly haven't had the chance to read it in any of my college classes. I had to buy it and read it on my own, which is all the same because I still enjoyed it.

 

[bae-blade]

I read it back in grade 10 (age 15) and it's definitely one of my all time favourites! There is a lot to be learned from it while containing warnings that more people need to acknowledge.

 

[honeyblossom]

Yeah, we read it in school. Also don't remember much about it. I should give it a re-read, since it's becoming more and more relevant.

 

[mitfy]

i HAVENT!!! i was going to read it for my research paper for english class, cuz i thought we already owned the book (we 100% do) but i couldn't find it ANYWHERE. so i read fahrenheit 451 instead (the fact that f451 is on the banned books list is so horribly ironic i hate it). it's something i definitely want to read someday though. if only i can find the stupid book...

 

[Dracule]

I have the book on my bookshelf, but I haven?t had the time to read it (CURSE YOU, COLLEGE, AND YOUR TONS OF ASSIGNMENTS T~T). I?m hoping to read that and a bunch of other stuff once the semester is finished.

 

[hamster]

no. i hate reading as a hobby i get all fidgety and bored. i didnt mind it in school though since i had nothing else to do

 

[Farobi]

Loved the book. It opened me to the whole dystopian-world genre which is actually quite a pleasure to read and compare with society today. Would recommend!
