Very; it's a fun read. I really know I oughtn't re-read it so closely before going to see it in the theatre, but I can't help it.

The Virgin Blue - Tracy Chevalier
Colonel
Re-reading 1984, wow I was too young back then to even understand wtf was going on, loving this book so far, almost done. Anyone know if there is actually a Goldstein's book out there somewhere, or maybe a lengthier explanation, you know how 1984 has a book inside a book going on (page 192 in 1984).

The book The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism is fictional. Goldstein's character is based on Leon Trotsky.Originally Posted by cpt_azad

If you like Tracy Chevalier, you'll probably like Girl With A Pearl Earring and The Lady and the Unicorn by her also. I can't comment on Falling Angels as I have yet to read it.

Girl With I read before Blue and loved it. As soon as I finished up that book, I headed straight to the book store and bought her others!If you like Tracy Chevalier, you'll probably like Girl With A Pearl Earring and The Lady and the Unicorn by her also.

Yes I knew that "the book" is fictional (because it's a book inside of 1984) but thanks, did not know that Goldstein was based on Trotsky.The book The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism is fictional. Goldstein's character is based on Leon Trotsky.
