(no subject)
i bought three books yesterday. i am hoping that at least two will be worthwhile. the third was bought on a whim - toss up between it and updike's new novel terrorist. i really want to read it, but i think i will get it later! i think three on the plate is good for now!
i know you are all just dying to hear what i got, so here it is: pigs at the trough, the book of the dead, and time out of joint. yay fun. three different genres.
something to think on today-
"Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought?… Has it ever occurred to your, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?…The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact, there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking-not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness." - Syme George Orwell, 1984
