"ألم أخبرك يا صديقي أنه في الجيش الروسي القديم كان يعتبر تصرفا سيئا أن تبصق علي يهودي؟ أجل. رأينا أن بصقة ضابط روسي أثمن من أن تبدد علي اليهود.."

I'm always so impressed by George Orwell. This is amazing

His eighty plus year memoir, seems bloggable today.

I'm at the bit where he leaves Paris and goes to London and it is hilarious. I mean, I couldn't take a drink of water for several chapters for fear my guffaws would result in spewing water out my nostrils. Just wanted to share my joy and my love of Orwell.

Been reading this on & off again for the past couple of days. It's content caused me some slight anxiety last night so I put it down.

هو ده حال اتنين مصريين بيدورو ع شغل دلوقتى
بس فى الرواية اوفر شوية لدرجة التشرد والجوع

'Money has become the grand test of virtue. By this test beggars fail, and for this they are despised... A beggar,looked at realistically, is simply a businessman, getting his living, like other businessmen, in the way that comes to hand. He has not, more than most modern people, sold his honour; he has merely made the mistake of choosing a trade at which it is impossible to grow rich.'

Ugggghhhhhhh school reading!

Having to read this for school and so far its boring AF :(

Got half-way through and... misplaced my book. I hope I find it soon.

Really enjoying this so far. Orwell wrote as Obama speaks and Springsteen sang - vividly, like an artist but with words for colour.

"An idle man cannot be a 'plongeur;' they have simply been trapped by a routine which makes thought impossible."

"Roughly speaking, the more one pays for food, the more sweat and spittle one is obliged to eat with it." Concept of creating stress in order to get things done: "but we were not losing our heads and wasting time, we were just stimulating one another for the effort of packing four hours' work into two hours."

الشقاء!

اگه خواستید این کتاب رو بخونید به بخش ۱۵ التفات ویژه ای داشته باشید. این بخش به تنهایی یه شاهکاره.

Now in London.

Otellerde ne tür pisliklerin döndüğünü öğrenince hem güldüm, hem midem bulandı.

...so many insects.

I've never been able to enjoy an Orwell novel, and no I don't really have an answer for why. But this book... this one I just can't put down!
