Last weekend I finished the book. In my old insomnia days, I used to fall asleep to tapes and one of my favorites (before I had all of the Prairie Home Companions) was a BBC Radio production of 1984. Reading the book after all of these years was interesting because I could hear the radio actors' voices speaking many of the lines in my head. I am also curious to see the film again, not having seen it since it was released in 1984. What's to say about this book? I like the term "negative utopia," I prefer Brave New World, and I was reminded how much I don't like gin. Anyone care to weigh in on anything?
