Re: What are you currently reading?
Hello everyone. New to this site and this is my first post.
I am a fan of dystopian novels and I am currently reading "We" by Yevgeny Zamyatin,
it's basically a mixture of Huxley (Brave New World) and Orwell (1984), both of which used "We" as inspiration for their respective novels.

Glad to see somebody reading "We". A novel that deserves to be better known.tlamatini wrote:Hello everyone. New to this site and this is my first post.

Re: What are you currently reading?
I'm reading "The Second World War" by Antony Beevor. Amusingly, my father's unit gets a mention: "...although inexperienced and ill disciplined to a point which left British officers almost speechless with rage (it) proved to be a collection of formidable fighters".

Currently I am reading Ulysses by James Joyce. For the first time in my whole life the book makes sense to me. I think I miss many of the puns and connections but I am totally enjoying the book just as a great story. I look forward to finding out what will happen next. Joyce is a great writer and so very funny.
