"Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense. And what was terrifying was not that they would kill you for thinking otherwise, but that they might be right."
-George Orwell, "1984"

"How could you communicate with the future? It was of its nature impossible. Either the future would resemble the present, in which case it would not listen to him, or it would be different from it, and his predicament would be meaningless."
-George Orwell, "1984"

Poor Crosby is back to the barely competent sidekick in this one 😆

pickThis is the first book I bought with my own money in 1988. It was and still is the best book I ever read about dementia. I cried when I read it as a girl and I did when I reread it for my new bookclub. Organized by The School of Life, we‘re gonna read the six favorite books of six Dutch authors. This is the first (chosen by author Lale Gül) and it‘s a great concept. Again, all the stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickUna lectura que si leíste de joven, DEBES volver a leerlo o si aún no lo lees, que sea tu siguiente lectura.
En verdad duele en el alma conforme vas leyéndolo .
Este libro te dará una cachetada de realidad, pero no solo te quedes con el dolor, debe ser un impulso para hacer una diferencia en los tiempos actuales. No solo es el miedo de lo predictivo, es el terror de que es algo cíclico.

pickMind. Blown..
I can‘t believe I‘ve only just got round to reading this classic. Now I see why it is one of the greatest books of the 20th century. Some of the themes are still so current even now 70 years after it was written. Orwell was way ahead of his time. Genius!

I read this book once before when I was pretty young. Too young to truly understand and feel the weight of it. I‘m only about 2/3 of the way through it now but what strikes me is how we have always feared losing our rights to those in power. How this theme has reoccurred in so many stories. It‘s always there. Waiting to jump out at us and wave the flag and say, “It‘s here right now.” #thatsclassic #dystopian #1984
