[NMMNG]

14. I just saw that on TMC last weekend (or rather, the last hour of it)

16. That was a surprisingly good adaptation

Winston was portrayed exactly as I had pictured him when I had first read that book.

13. You're living 1984 right now

It is fitting that you should read it at this time.

That has been one of my favorites for over 20 years. I have a commemorative edition paperback, published in 1984. It is well-worn as I read it at least once a year.
