1984 & Animal Farm are on my 13YO son’s reading list this summer. I’ll let him read Atlas Shrugged in a couple of years, he’s already seen the movie trilogy. The sex passages in AS aren’t appropriate for him.

Aren't there a few in 1984? It's been a while since I last read it.

Weren't there similar passages in 1984?

Whenever I see a FReeper handle I don't recognize, I look to see if that person has shared anything of him(her)self on their personal page.

I took note of this passage on yours:

"Living in a foreign land for 4+ years intensified my love for this country, warts and all. That this country survived 8 years of Bill Clinton is a testament to the wisdom, brilliance, and foresight of our Founding Fathers who crafted our Constitution."

I am supposing that particular sentence was written a few years ago. My question is simple:

What say you now?
