I couldn't do it

I had intended to reread George Orwell's 1984. I started it but got about a quarter of the way through and decided it was too depressing to continue with it. The weather is depressing enough. So, back in the book case it went.

I read that book when I was in school. It's hard to believe that it is now 34 years later then 1984. Time does fly! Stay warm and cozy!

I've read it a couple times before, once actually in 1984. I even saw the movie, but I had to put it down now. Maybe in the summer I might pick it up again, where I left off.

There are several books in that similar vein that I would not revisit, for the same reason. Such as Brave New World.

Yes it was republished a year ago or so I believe as classes were making students read it.

It's set in a distopic future where everything is controlled by Big Brother.

The book is depressing because Orwell's vision has come true: big brother is watching us.
