I agree with you wholeheartedly. Not only lazy, but illiterate to boot. Nothing disgusts me more than watching a potentially stimulating forum turn into a scavenging ground for people who couldn't care less about Orwell - or literature in general, for that matter. This is the reason that I generally do not haunt these forums; it's too frustrating. Read the damned book! Get into it! Enjoy! Escape! There's a reason they told you about it in college, dimwit!
Ahem. Well, with that off my chest, I can tell you I'm re-reading 1984. Largely nostalgic reasons. Maybe I'll try Coming Up For Air next - never read that one. Cheers. JS
