I recently read Animal Farm again. Actually I listened to it as an audio book, which I am really beginning to like. I am so done with paper books now. I lose my page, people borrow them and make dog ears in them or worse still don’t return them. Once I am done with them they sit around and collect dust and since I am a secret pack rat at heart I never throw or give them away and now I have tons of them. Also I am growing old now and sitting in the same position for hours on end nowadays leaves me sore. My ass goes to sleep and my feet get the tingles. (Man, I sound antediluvian)

But, as usual, I’m going off on a tangent here. So. Lets turn this car around (Which is a brilliant Tom Petty song from his 2006 album ‘Highway Companion’)

Animal Farm. The more I read this book the more parallels I find between it and Orwell’s Magnum Opus, 1984. Read more…
