Another good read by Orwell from this period is "The Road to Wigan Pier" wherein he leads a life alongside the proles of industrial northern England in the mid-30s -- very bleak indeed. The latter half of the book is a rant, funny in places, against his fellow socialists: why do they have to come off as such flaming fruitcakes? (An observation as valid today as it was 65 years ago!)
