You never read it Anonymous Thu Jan 28 02:13:38 2021 No.17399478 [Reply] [Original]

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 28 02:16:25 2021 No.17399487 you are correct, op. i never read It, the book about an evil clown. by Stephen King.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 28 02:16:37 2021 No.17399488 >>17399478 Never got past the first page.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 28 02:18:35 2021 No.17399500 it’s true, i tried reading it in middle school but didn’t finish because i disliked the romance part so strongly

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 28 02:22:28 2021 No.17399511 >>17399478 We read brave new world in highschool so I had to go out of my way to read 1984, which I liked better, probably because I read it outside of school because I agree more with BNW’s take on the demise of society than 1984. Weird.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 28 02:25:32 2021 No.17399517 >>17399478 But I did. I read it on my own in high school. The only popular book I had trouble with at that age was Clockwork Orange, because the Nadsat dialogue irritated me as a teenager. Didn't actually read it until my 20s.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 28 02:39:17 2021 No.17399558 >>17399478 is brave new world better? i didnt enjoy 1984

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 28 02:42:27 2021 No.17399572 >>17399558 BNW is an easier read. The protagonist is an outsider, its a bit more exciting, I guess.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 28 03:02:28 2021 No.17399629 >>17399478 You're right, I never did.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 28 03:13:36 2021 No.17399676 >>17399478 >genre fiction why would I?

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 28 03:56:29 2021 No.17399873 >not reading and enjoying every book from high school English class while simultaneously getting worse grades than the kids who didn't even read the book

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 28 04:04:22 2021 No.17399919 >>17399558 We by Zamyatin in the proper dystopia novel. Orwell and Huxley were each inferior derivates.
