Orwell for £1.00

There is one fundamental truth about English literature: you never read enough George Orwell. There is another fundamental truth about English literature: not enough people read Orwell. There is yet another fundamental truth about English literature, a corollary of the first two: too many idiots refer to Orwell even though they haven't read a single one of his books and only know the title of one. In other words, "Orwellian" has become a buzzword uneducated pedants and political wannabe Nostradamuses, generally right wing ones. So anyway, I bought this book at £1.00, because that's a great read at bargain price.
