  • Harry Potter. It reminds me of family, nostalgia from growing up, waiting for later books at midnight and then reading it as fast as possible, talking about them with friends and family, going to see the new movies in imax, watching the abc family marathons. Going to an HP themed college party. Great great memories, plus the books themselves were good. Especially the sixth one with all the pensieve memories, giving glimpses into characters’ mysterious pasts.


  • It could be that Fahrenheit 451 is the easiest for people in school to read and understand. brave new world has more philosophical debate parts, shakespeare references, and the ambiguous and confusing speaking scene with the characters towards the beginning while they’re being introduced. It might be the smartest of the 3 main dystopian books which means many people wont get of like it. 1984 does have the 2+2 part though.

    1984 wasn’t assigned in school for me and brave new world was…so idk. Maybe the totalitarianism in 1984 is just easier/more one sided for people to give opinions about. It’s easier to denounce the party’s actions.

    The only book that I’ve read that has included the n-word where it wasn’t used well was Freakonomics and that’s because it wasn’t from a fictional character, and also it was an audiobook so it came out of nowhere. Pretty much every other time it’s spoken by characters that are portrayed as horrible, racist people.
