1984
Like Frankenstein and a few other classics 1984 is a perception in the minds of those who have not read it....Frankenstein is not about a monster and 1984 is not about Big Brother ...well not the way we think about Big Brother now...it is certainly one of the greatest books around and one I try to read every 5 or so years...I find I can't watch the news without reflecting on 1984 most nights...Orwell's other books are also insightful .. and as for the ending ... wow ... Now to find my Victory Gin and a spare park bench...
