Doesn't the saying ignorance is bliss come from 1984?

QuietIdiot I think that is borderline spoiler material, idk, too close for comfort imo.

Please be spoiler conscious people, if you spoil, I will hunt you down.

Edit: I realize it is vague to those that haven't read it, but still.

bah, was hoping that a book that less people have probably read would be chosen...ah well, looks like I'll have to go pick it up and read it again.

Should still be fun

Several people in the thread, including myself, have said that they will read it again for this.

What we thought about the book.

I think I am going to start with the questions from here:
http://classiclit.about.com/od/nineteeneightyfour/a/aa_1984bclubdis.htm

After that, we will just see how the discussion plays out, hopefully some disagreements/debate will be had.

phuck it, I am joining this club even if I have to re read every single book ~ I have one request, December first is way too much time; next time give it less time (specially if its a short book)

Didn't really like it the first read through. I'll give it another read through. I, too, also want to hear other's thoughts about it.
I know where my towel is.

If you remember enough about the book to participate in a discussion, I think that'll be sufficient
