Any books that are like his but less Midwitty? He oversimplifies everything and it triggers me so much.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 28 21:40:06 2021 No.17405611 >>17405204 Yeah, and then other pseuds shit on Orwell because they don't want to be associated with other pseuds.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 28 23:44:12 2021 No.17406249 >>17405204 >can only name 2 books by Orwell Looks like you're the pseud

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 28 23:48:53 2021 No.17406267 >>17405169 There's a difference between being over-simplified and being on-point. Sounds like someone got filtered by Animal Farm. Anyway to answer your question you might like Koestler; they were buddies IRL.
