Have you ever lied about reading a book anon?
I believe there has been a study indicating that 1 in 4 people who claim to have read 1984 have never actually read it.

I read the first Twilight book and pretended to read the rest for some pussy. Never got it and that book fucking sucked.

It's a popular book. You're at a point in society where so many people are in so many little niches that as society progresses they're thinking everyone is doing more of their niche, however we're all therefore really just getting more segmented :3

Reading is a niche. And it shouldn't be, but it is.

I watched the 1984 movie on a /pol/ livestream back in 2013 and just claim to have read it because I get all the major themes and plot points Orwell was going for

I've ready 1984. It's kind of boring actually. But I think that's the point. The horror of 1984 is that it's so deadly, and yet so mundane and boring. You can't really do anything to fight the oppression. It just persists, and you try and live, but one day you'll fail.

I've read it and I can tell you that as a story 1984 is shit. Interesting political concepts but god do I not give a shit about the cardboard cut-outs that are supposed to be our main characters nor the shit tier plot they have going around. Last third of the book is a banger but that may be my bias showing because I'm really into bdsm.

>> No.18417021

>>18417013
I think that's sort of the point with the characters. They're boring, just like most people are. They could be literally anyone you know. They're not special, or heroes, or attractive, or do anything really meaningful. They just live in a world that will eventually break their spirits and kill them.

>> No.18417049

I don't need characters to be special I need them to have some sort of personality so that they feel real and I actually care about anything that happens to them.
