    The movie was ok, I guess, but the book is outstanding!!

    Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is one of my all time favorite books. Some interesting facts about the author are that he was ridiculed for being a socialist even in early 20th century England. A must read! If you have seen movies like The Island or have read 1984, Brave New World in my opinion set the stage for similar books about social classes and social assignment.

    Sort of what I guessed, will probably be what I read after I get all this other King material read, no one can accuse the man of being lazy when it comes to writing, that's for dang sure

    Oh and I hated animal farm in general PLUS for the same reasons as LOTF

    I remember liking it when I read it in high school but thats a while back. I have wanted to reread it but haven't had the time.
    I really don't and its not that I ONLY like King I just like to read what I know I am going to like. As for LOTF I was forced to read that in high school and I hated it but alot of that was due to teachers reading too much into it. Everyone knows the general meaning of that story even if you havent read it but the little things they picked into just annoyed the hell out of me. Sometimes a cigar is just a smoke and a story's just a story... and while this may not apply to the entire theme of the story because, yes, there was more to it but everything they picked through made me think just that. I HATE english teachers. They should let you take what you get from a story if thats nothing then its nothing if its more then good for you. Stick to teaching the important shit like Grammar and Spelling.
