I tried reading it about a year ago but got too depressed.

It’s definitely not light reading.

The wild part to me is basically every government we’ve had since ww2 has marched it a little closer. With some doing more of a sprint then others.

Do you have any favorite quotes? Most of them are so true they're depressing to me.

The end when he meets Julia again after being at the ministry of love and he realizes he loves big brother. It’s not a quote but dang what an ending to a messaged up last couple chapters.

“The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink”
