First time I read this book I was 15....my mum had one of the first printed editions in Portuguese...book vanished.

20y later, I bought a new edition...vanished again. Can't find it anywhere.

3rd time is a charm, they say !

This time, however, I bought in English.

Can't wait to put my eyes on it.

The beauty of books is that as our perspective shifts, the way we read and remember, shifts also, it's like anew.

One of my favorites still, with the passage of time.

I read so many books when I was young, and I am trying to go back to my reading leisure. There are many books I enjoyed, like The Metamorphosis, The Perfum, Margaritta and the Master, Siddharta, but this one...its something else. I see 1984 as a sequel.

I’m currently re-reading 1984, it’s alarmingly relevant in these times. I’ll look up the titles you listed here. I’m always looking for more to read. Thank you! 🫂

Yes it is....the control and lack of privacy is something that I really don't like as where is going....

Same, propaganda was difficult to distribute in the past, now everyone literally has a stream of leaflets in their hand or pockets, along with all the features of the telescreens and ministry of truth, listening, watching, and slowly replacing history with curated content. It is somewhat terrifying to me. People also have unprecedented abilities to communicate so hopefully the masses prevail. Time will tell.
