    I read 1984 just after Christmas, its amazing and i think portrays Marxism well. Ive just been studying Karl Marx as part of my Englis degree and the book really helped with my understanding! Well worth reading.

    I suppose! Reading has never interested me though. Apart from the books your made to read at school i have only ever read one book, Mr Nice, Howard Marks Autobiograph. Which is fantastic by the way!

    You just need to read a good book to get you hooked. i recomend reading The Da Vinci Code. Its one of those books that make you go "wow" when you finish reading it! x

    1984 is a superb book, l recently got the complete novels.

    Just finished Burmese Days about corrupt imperialism during the early 1900's, quality book!!

    Only read Down and Out of the non fiction stuff.

    For anyone that interested theres a load of Orwell (Mainly his Essays) which is good stuff, find em here

    More like you're too lazy to read it!

    It's the best book ever written but scarily it seems to be coming true, especially in bible belt America:eek:
