Ok, I know it’s super typical for guys my age to rave about this book, but damn, this thing is amazing!

Here's my first book in the collection of books I am aiming to read this new school year! It's also a part of the personal reading assignment at school where I have to read at least four books at school until June of 2015.

It's "1984" by George Orwell and is, to generalise the genres, a dystopian classic!!

According to the blurb, "The year 1984 has come and gone but George Orwell's prophetic, nightmarish vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. "1984" is still the great modern classic of "negative utopia" -- a startlingly original and haunting novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing, from the first sentence to the last four words. No one can deny the novel's hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions-- a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time" (by. Erich Fromm)
