Yea, I thought about doing a LoTR one, but I kind of think someone else will pick that (class project) as it seems like an obvious choice. I may do it though simply because it would be a lot of fun.XxRavenxX wrote:

I actually prefer Brave New World, although 1984 is excellent.Poseidon wrote:

Of Mice and Men was pretty decent too.
Really? I found 1984 much greater food for thought. I don't really care for allegory.nukchebi0 wrote:

1984 is much an allegory as well. I just thought Animal Farm was a better written book than 1984, but perhaps I'll reread both and reconsider.Ollie wrote:

Eh... I disagree. I liked Animal Farm a lot too, but it seemed like there was less substance. Animal Farm was just an (excellent) allegory to the Russian revolution. 1984 was entirely of Orwell's own creation, he wasn't just copying and slightly changing real life events.nukchebi0 wrote:

While writing music while high has undisputedly good results, literature requires coherence denied to a person with an altered state of mind.

Oh Lord. What a silly comment.nukchebi0 wrote:

1984 isn't entirely of Orwell's own creation, though, since he obviously took inspiration from the totalitarian governments of the time he wrote it in.

And the main male character gets completely owned by a dominatrix. There's more to it, and I think it is a great book.The_Lance_117 wrote:

The main female character makes a homosexual pedifile cut off and eat his own genitals (this was right before he let his squad rape her). Amazing book (that was the only gruesome part).
TBH I would rather rate literature on weather or not its good, rather then what the artist had done.nukchebi0 wrote:

Oh fuck! How could I forget Tom Clancy.TheAussieReaper wrote:
I just read Sphere. And thought it was really good. Michael Crichton was the author.
Tom Clancy has written some great books too.
