I've just finished reading George Orwell's 1984. Now I am moving on to Barbarossa - The Russian German Conflict 1941-1945 By Allan Clark. I am probably not going to read to whole thing, just going to use it to reasearch for this silly learning project so I'll have enough 'credits' to pass year 12.

Sorry O, I just saw your comment

Hell yeah he is. I just realized that the name of the book is Mother Night and not Mother's Night. Oh I'm such a poser.

What's your favourite book by him?

He he. I didn't catch the error. I've always loved Player Piano. Really underrrated in my opinion.


Right now, I'm re-reading We by Zamyatin. Anyone who likes dystopian novels, particularly Brave New World and 1984 (and maybe even Player Piano :ninja) will be blown away by their main inspiration.

Ah been meaning to read We.
I didn't really like Brave New World and... oddly enough, I never finished 1984 because I wasn't "well read" when I decided to read it so it bored me... Fahrenheit 451 is a great one, though.


Oh yeah, Player Piano is really good too. But then again I've never read a Vonnegut book that isn't awesome, and I've read maybe... 6 or 7 of 'em I think.
