      Insane how much literature from over 50 years ago had so much foresight. Just started 1981 and it is eerie to say the least!

        Isnt it crazy? I know its been memed to death but reading 1984 is like HoooLlly shit how does no one see this and why is it not being stopped. Similar with reading grapes of wrath.

            Oh its a classic. Needs to be read by everyone IMO. Also, east of eden .
