I do a light reading, then depending on what sticks out I go back and read them aloud to see what makes them resonate. I’ll read a couple back to back, but I find it’s best to follow any inklings of natural curiosity then see what else the poem is doing.
I think the nature of Brave New World is a bit harder to quickly refer to than 1984. People use 1984 as a catchall for surveillance state, even if they haven’t read it. BNW focuses more on the industrial state and spiritual poverty IIRC. Most people can sympathize with the lack of freedom in 1984, but BNW is a bit more complicated (and honestly probably more relevant, I should reread it). Honestly, I feel like a lot of people would look at soma vacations and think that the BNW dystopia isn’t all that bad.
