Just finished reading Animal Farm for the first time in my life. It was good, I guess, but almost exhausting in its lack of subtlety for metaphor and allegory. I suppose that's why you read it and learn about it in high school.

Should I watch the old movies of it? Gollum directing one for next year, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Farm_(upcoming_film)

1984 is next! Never read nor seen.
