      In my experience a lot of people have read 1984…

      You definitely got me on Fahrenheit 451 though :)

        Fahrenheit 451 is highly readable.

      People don’t read Fahrenheit 451? Or 1984? 🤨

          I read Fahrenheit 451 on a whim one day and the scenario was the exact same one we’re in today. Except the fire department in the real world still tries to put out actual fires instead of burning books. We’re not that far gone yet.

      Do people not read 1984? They should, it’s great.

      I’ve not read F451, but I also haven’t bought it, so I’m off the hook! :-)
