There is no joy watching every predicted fear come true , there is no smug condescension in saying I told you so as this regime proves that us "overdramatic, doomsday, ridiculous people " were right.
I pray that enough people can and do fight back to stop it quickly.

kspenmoll Yes! 2mo

I read this in high school and it started my love for dystopian novels. More recently I don't read much of the genre anymore because it is just too real sometimes 😬

Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.

Feeling slumpy so calling it for March. Full of #banned dystopian paperbacks and LGBTQIA+ ebooks to cheer me up.

Edit: +1 Finished The Handmaid‘s Tale late last night/early this morning.

JamieArc This is for real. My husband works in health equity and received this. Words like Community? So ridiculous and maddening. 4mo

ElizaMarie I know there are some very important words on here, but --- I grew up near the Gulf of Mexico and I will NEVER not think of it as such. Other words are worth more of the fight (yes) but... NEVER! 4mo

Dead Famous | Ben Elton

“Dead Famous“ is a sharp, funny, and ultimately disturbing look at the dark side of reality television and the lengths people will go to for fame. It‘s a thought-provoking commentary on a culture where entertainment often trumps human decency, and where the line between reality and fiction becomes increasingly blurred.

I am kinda undone with myself because I DNF'd 1984. I was doing the audio for a bookclub (pairing with Newman's Julia) and then when I was unable to make bookclub I realized there were other things I wanted to read more than 84 for the fourth or fifth time. But still it is lingering in my mind so i will likely pick the audio back up!
