Oh heck yes!! I love a book with footnotes! Let’s f^cking go!!!

...often people think this book was prophetic but George Orwell was writing about his own time. It's not prophetic. We keep making the same mistakes and the same mistakes lead to the same kinda of problems. It's not prophetic; it's observational.

obsessed with how spooky and foreboding this is becoming

Do NOT like the writing of this.

I’m enjoying this but the pacing is wild. Shit has gone down so quickly after I settled in for some world building

I know classics are classics for a reason, but is there a classic book that everyone loves and that is considered this huge masterpiece, but you just couldn't get through it? It's happened to me a few times. I struggled with the Lord of the Rings trilogy for years before I was able to read it and enjoy it. I think I was too young when I first tried to. I still haven't been able to finish Jane Austen's Emma or F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. I don't know why, and I've tried many times for years. I've read other Austen books, but I struggle with Emma for some reason. I still want to try again with these books, maybe I just have to be in the right space for them to click with me haha.
