darkness at noon
It is necessary to hammer every sentence into the masses by repetition and simplification.
What is presented as right must shine like gold; what is presented as wrong must be black as pitch.
For consumption by the masses, the political processes must be colored like ginger-bread figures at a fair.
From "Darkness at noon", by Arthur Koestler. Does this sound familiar?That's exactly the kind of world we live in.
I read this book in 3 days, one of the best book i've read this year.
Other books on my reading list lately...
Catch 22, by Joseph Heller;
The catcher in the rye, by J.D. Salinger;
The stranger, by Albert Camus;
Im also trying to track down "Closing time",
the continuation of the adventures of Yossarian,
also by Joseph Heller...
