    Animal Farm

    Has anyone read Animal Farm by George Orwell?


    It's about a group of farmyard animals who rebel against the farmer on the promise of finding Utopia but eventually it all just ends up being the same as before.

    Can you be a little specific with who this is directed at?

          I would love for this to be a pure Orwell book club discussion. I love Animal Farm but 1984 is the greatest.

          Oh Boxer.

              I think he has just repackaged his Why Sockeye Salmon is Smarter than Andrew Demetriou thread and he has had a better response this time.

                Down and out in Paris and London is a great read, but not cheerful. Keep the Aspidistra Flying deserves more attention too, IMO.

                Neither has much to do with the OP I fear.
                The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

                  Really insightful reads from a great author.

                      I've only read 1984. I've been planning to read Animal Farm sometime soon!
