Have you come across Julia yet? Winston and Julia exhibit two contrasting traits. Who do you relate more closely to?

[Narjis]

When I read the name "Big Brother" it reminded me of Altaf Bhai :P

[Ahmed]

@Narjis
Hahahaha.... People of Karachi can say that. ;p

[Bishwaraj]

I think I am done with the book. The book ended abruptly and I was hoping for something more.
Could somebody tell me the last line of the book so that I can be sure that my version of the book is not incomplete?

This is the last line

(view spoiler)[It was chiefly in order to allow time for the preliminary work of translation that the final adoption of Newspeak had been fixed for so late a date as 2050. (hide spoiler)]

I had almost forgotten him until you mentioned him. :P

[Ahmed]

I have finished 50% of the book.

MaShaAllah MashaAllah I finished 50% of first page. I'm truly terrible at these buddy reads.

Hiba wrote: "Ahmed wrote: "I have finished 50% of the book."

And I have read first few lines :p
I am really not into historical stuff :P

*High five* me neither.

[Bishwaraj]

Oh no, it's not a historical stuff. On the contrary, it's futuristic. It was published in 1949 and the book is on a nightmare that author had about future (that being 1984). :)

It's not historical, its totally dystopian and it still feels like, its written about the future world.

[Bilal]

Ive read 70%

[Bilal]

Of the first page

[Abdullah]

Bilal wrote: "Of the first page"

Hahaha...

[Abdullah]

I was busy so couldn't read more than 30% ...but I'll resume now...

@Narjis aap PTI waali hn na...do you relate any character of the book with some current political figure?

[Elsa]

YARRRRR!!! I have not even properly started it yet. I'm out. I'll read it when I get time. Can't be here next month because mids. OMG I'll die from the pressure.

[Ahmed]

I have read 90% of the book.

[Ahmed]

@Elsa
Good luck for the mids!

Thank You!!

Han han jala lo mujhe :'(

@Abdullah
If we see in Pakistan, Big Brother is pretty much like Army. Hope you have understood why. ;p

[Ahmed]

Basically, I am not on anybody's side in politics. To be honest, I loathe it! It's the root cause of LOONG arguments in my family. Whenever my father or uncles take side of any political figure and begin to argue on it, I can't sit there. :/

I can understand that 'Jalne wali' feeling. 😢

I have related to one political personality above :P but it was more because of name resemblance.

As a political environment, it's not only about politics of Pakistan but all over the world, the politicians are control freaks like Big Brother. The Hunger Games, Divergent, Uglies and many other books have such future where ruling body controls everyone with cruelty.

I relate like totally. Because my grandfather supports the Taliban to some extent. So yeah, tell me about family differences when it comes to politics.

Family differences because of politics is the worst thing in the world!!

[Ahmed]

I won't give any opinion because I don't have any interest in politics... :)
