does she ever explain everything about the worldbuilding/how she got to this point/sociopolitical stuff in detail, or is the reader just supposed to make educated guesses as it gets clearer and clearer?

controversial but i do looooove to bend the spine of a book as i'm going along. not only can i actually hold it and see the pages then, but the book also looks as though it's been loved and read. it interests me when people are entirely against any sort of damage to their book spines; i'm more of the mindset that if i've paid for something, i may as well use, love and destroy it to hell and back!!

Hi! ☀️ I'd like to start annotating books, but I don't know where or how to begin. Tips are welcome! I'm a sloppy reader, so dog-eares and broken spines are always a thing with me. That's why my annotations don't need to be perfect. But what do you write and when? And have you ever gone back to a book and read you annotations again? 📖

This is textbook women written by a man. Julia is no thoughts, head empty unless talking about sex, and her sexual promiscuousness is the only redeeming thing about her in Winston’s eyes. She conflates violence and sexuality the way men do, the way Winston does, the way the Party, which is run by men, does. She has little traditional femininity (swearing, crudeness, etc) and no sisterhood with other women (Julia literally says she hates women). She is the ultimate “cool girl” objectification and the perfect representation of “love” for an incel.
