How is this ignorant? I think incoherent literature sucks, because it doesn't flow and jumps around. Ken Kesey, who wrote much of Cuckoo's Nest while high, has shown that writing high removes coherence.Ollie wrote:

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

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:
Animal Farm was better than 1984, by a very small amount.
Oh, but he did. Think about it for a second.Oh Lord. What a silly comment.nukchebi0 wrote:
As I said, I thought it was written better.
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.
