A crow drops a finger on a footpath in front of a walker, and the best laid plans go awry.

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

Aimeesue Crows are the best! Caw! 🐦‍⬛ 2mo

This 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 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Una 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.

Mind. 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

WomanistBibliophile It‘s less people just fearing the loss of freedoms and more the way those in power constantly threaten, impede and take our freedoms. 3y
EdnaC @WomanistBibliophile yes. I don‘t mean to imply it‘s not a valid fear or threat. It‘s something I discuss with my family a lot. How we need to protect our rights vigilantly because each one we give away leads to them taking many more. It‘s just interesting how it‘s been the same for so long. How that fight to protect our rights has really always been there. 3y

A super classic book.
The example of a distopia.
Great story and an author‘s forward-looking vision make this book a must read one.
Just thinking about the times when this book was written I can surely say that Orwell was a kind of genius, predicting what somehow the internet and social media are doing today.
