Arrival of Books
I know our books have arrived and some of us have begun reading. I just received a book to review from Library Journal so as soon as I get that review in I will start 1984. Perhaps to get in the swing of posting again and to get our discussion going, we could write some posts about the title. Our group is spread across a couple of age clusters. Some of us were aware of the book long before we read it and, at the same time, the actual year 1984 was far (or very far) in the future). For others, the year had passed by the time the book was read. I imagine that one's perspective is altered by that. I am in the far (but not very far) in the future group. Thoughts?

Since I was in high school in 1984 there was alot of talk about the book. At that time I had other things I had to read for school and wanted to read for pleasure so I never picked up 1984. I am aware of the general theme with Big Brother watching and controlling the society. It will be interesting to see the similarity to our current conditions.
