People read 1984 and think they know Orwell, he wrote more than 1984 and a lot of it’s pretty good.

He grew up and spent many years on the tattered fringes of the failing British empire. Nice readable catalog that presents a realistic picture of the British psyche during that period. Fascinating stuff really. Smashing!

Down and Out in Paris and London is great. I actually used some of the “living poor” tricks from this book while attending college.
