It pisses me off when people use fantasy to call someone evil (lemmygrad.ml)

"X is acting like Voldemort. Voldemort level evil. Literally 1984." What are you a child?

If someone brags about reading for status but only reads fiction, their knowledge is useless in practice. Fiction can be great, but treat it like junk food, enjoyable but not real world wisdom

When I was fourteen I adored 1984 because it was very well-written, and all the ideas are new to me. Now I am grown and learned.

At the time I didn't finish the book because Winston had just gotten caught. Silly young me, thinking I'd missed out.
