strangely, 1984 by george orwell saved my life in middle school by introducing me to the concept of doublethink… but also it is just a great dystopian book if you’re into that

Got this cheap copy a month ago and it has kicked off an Orwell obsession. there is something so phantasmic reading this in London 70 ish years later he was writing these essays. Have used this in every essay I can since reading like…. he was so true idk…

the utopian novel by the father of behaviorism b.f. skinner. i'm really glad he was an academic because novels are definitely not his forte, although some parts can be specially enjoyable as a psych student because of the idea of some concepts being applied in the way he presents it (again, not really in the way good novels work). also it's so clearly a self-insert. but the Best part is reading some excerpts and thinking immediately "that's for sure the reason why they accused him of being a communist"
