1984 Ping List



Hi, I was just curious if anybody is interested in getting started reading 1984 the beginning of next year?

I think last we spoke about this we were discussing whether to do it in this thread or to create another one. I thought we had decided to leave it in the Trump train thread, just to keep it informal. Don't want anybody to expect the level of expertise that the freeper book club threads have. I'm vaguely remembering we had decided to start it on Saturdays, when the thread is more quiet, and therefore it won't interrupt any pressing news.

A second option is we can put it over on the prepper read that I have revived after my long absence. I think it would be appropriate either place. That way the Trump train threads are kept as they are, and sadly there is very little activity over on the prepper thread. So it wouldn't encumber anybody over there.

If we start the beginning of January this will give everyone about a month to procure a copy. Some nice person had listed the sites of where the book could be downloaded from as well. Maybe they'll see this post and do it again :-)

If anybody wants to reply to the group, here is the list:

I think “Brave New World” is a better dystopian look at the future. Technology is almost there. 1984 is so last century.

Winners act a certain way, they have a certain vibe.

Pelosi and Biden are melting down.

Their behavior isn't what we'd expect to "feel" from someone who just won.

They would be jubilant and poised.

Or if "sore winners," they would be SMUG.

Is that how they feel to you? https://t.co/dNIFVzITk5— Mike Cernovich (@Cernovich) December 5, 2019

My copy is still sitting on the stand by my bed.

I’m not ignoring you, would never do that, am mulling it over.

I may have to send you freep-mail to explain myself.

Let me get back to you.

Brave New World was suggested and may be another good one to consider.

I don’t think I will be able to participate with the way things are here now.
