Re: 1984

The first time I read the book it had a much stronger effect - the cynical political manipulation of the masses was revelatory, especially in the context of the book - and I listed it as one of my two favourite books.

Reading it approx. 10 years on I found the overall point flawed, though the book was still very enjoyable, and still very recommended.
