Having read a bit about George Orwell's background, it's easy to see how he came up with it. I've heard of parallels made between the book and now so looking forward to seeing what those could potentially be.

Bradford and Stockport

Got about a dozen on the go at the moment. Various genres, depends how I feel in the moment. Right this moment, it's "Kafka on the shore" by Murakami, earlier today the graphic novel "Hellblazer Dead in America", yesterday finished "Monday starts on Saturday" by the Strugatsky brothers. When we get to bed I might have a dip into "The Erotic Review Bedside Companion" short stories collection.

Between us we have a couple of thousand books lying around our houses, I probably read fifty or so a year plus a few hundred comics and magazines. My work also involves using a lot of reference texts.

Very heavy going but worth the perseverance! Definitely reminiscent of Tolkien’s world building and Herbert must have used as many words to describe sand as Tolkien did to describe… well everything 😂

It's brutal and philosophical and stays with you a long time. I've read it twice and listened to it several times. Always thought provoking.

There was a sequel released a few years ago by the brilliant author Sandra Newman called Julia. It looks at the same events from Julia's point of view. I was sceptical, but it's wonderful. Well worth a read.

I usually read a fiction and a non-fiction

For fiction, I realised that I haven't read a single Tamil language book since I left school. So picked a popular historical fiction in Tamil.

For non-fiction, I am reading Philosophy of Mind by Jaworski.

"The Far Pavilions. M M Kaye"

Such a beautifully written story.

Just finished Fevre Dream - George RR Martins vampire book and just started Jodi Picoult - By any other name.

Also got The Silence Factory by Bridget Collins on the go but not enjoying that one so much so keep reading other books and coming back to it.

"Still only half way through Fevre Dream by George R.R Martin. I got side tracked by other things and haven't picked it up for a month or so. I do love a gothic vampire novel though and was enjoying it. "

If you like vampire books have you seen Jay Kristoff - Empire of the Vampire. I'd say possibly more fantasy than gothic but I enjoyed it. The 2nd book of the trilogy not long out.

Working my way through a reread of the Stronghold series by Golden Angel, I’m on 5 of 9. Then I’ve got her Masters of Marquis series (another 9) queued up.

Non-fiction current read is Borderlines, a History of Europe in 29 Borders by Lewis Baston.

Seems like lots of people on here like to read a fiction and a non-fiction concurrently. I'm sort of doing that. My non-fiction at the moment is "Milton and the English Revolution" by Christopher Hill, but at the same time I'm listening to Dickens's David Copperfield on Audible - a book I loved maybe 20 years ago and reconnecting to it via a wonderful reading by Martin Jarvis, who brings the colourful characters to life so beautifully.

Not sure I'm up to reading two books at a time, but one book and one audio book works nicely.

Someone gave me 'Gone Girl' to read recently. I've read the first chapter but it's difficult going for me. Does it improve?
