Ither it is "aliterature" or it is trash, it can't be both.

Well, I know I've taught it my my high school.... I believe I first came across it in college. Surely there's a bookstore where you could get it? Maybe one like Book Cellar where everything's discounted?

No offense dude, but... boooring. And if there's something worst than Nietzsche's philosophical stance, it's Nietzsche's political stance.

Oh, I've read, and I've yawned, and then I wrote some nice critics that probably no one is ever going to read... but whatever...

It was meant to negatively critique authoritarianism. Orwell would vomit at that notion. I mean it was a distopian world where sexuality is repressed, thought is policed, and the government has total control of our lives. It is essentially a commentary on the world of Stalins and Hitlers that Orwell saw in his lifetime.

Oh, I thought that's what you meant about "loving the creator".
Religion is considered and enemy of the government in the book and, of course, Big Brother pressures Winston with the reminder that if there is no God, then there is no reason that good must win.

Whenever I say something is boring, it means that it doesn't move you to improve by itself. I've only thought of criticizing [sp?], because of the unbelievable amount of hype that built around someone who I think was... simplyfing to the maximum possible... whining about the state of his society, without almost no Historical perspective whatsoever.
Coming back on topic, I've been looking for my copy of 1984 and can't find it... you've all doomed me to hours of trash-diving. DAMN YOU!
