I've just started reading The Wager. I'm a sucker for ship based media, and I'm hoping this'll be no exception.
It's my third book of the year after previously reading both A Clash of Kings and How to get rid of a president

Hat an exciting question the day I start reading a book for the first time in YEARS after finishing off my schooling and life finally calming down a bit.
Started reading Animal Farm today. Never read it before and kind of jealous of the people who would have had it assigned in university and had discussions after each chapter. I think this book was made to be discuss3”Ed.
Also, oh boy oh boy. I remember reading 1984 which sticks with me to this day a decade later, I can already sense this book is going to have a similar impact. Orwell just has a way.
Animal Farm is one of my favourites. I'm really into Politics, and AF presents it in a fairly straightforward, yet utterly captivating way. It's also pretty short so I can get through it in like two or three sessions.
I read 1984 like 15 years ago, during a time when...well frankly I was an idiot teenager who knew nothing of the world. I should go back to that at some point.
