Incredibly verbose and difficult to read, but behind it all is a great book.

I think I was around your age when I first read that one too and it really struck a chord with me. All my other "future dystopian" books were ones like 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and A Clockwork Orange that painted the feature as this fascist state where freedoms were repressed. Brave New World however wasn't like that, it was vastly different and that's what made it stand out and started to make me think that even in a perfect world, there's always going to be evil.

Onto the final part of the trilogy now.

Currently reading "Water For Elephants" .. just started last night, but I like it so far. Also re-reading "Night", which I read in high school but never really felt it. So second time's a charm.

Bought Trainspotting instead of reading it online, and Cecelia Aherns new book. I read her stuff religiously.

Could never really get into DH Lawrence before today. I always found his stories to be a bit slow, or just totally uninteresting. I'm starting to see the light now though.

i had a McDonald's chicken burger a few weeks ago and... someone needs to do a channel 4 documentary on them or something, it was MAXIMUM 5% reconstituted chicken, nakes those Rustlers microwaveable ones look like gourmet dinner. Just wrong, wrong, wrong. This is now the chicken burger thread

75% under man. Rustlers taste like rubber. McDonalds isn't so bad, much better than Rustlers or Feasters anyways. Rustlers are wrong. And Mcd's mayo is wrong.
