Oh brave new world!

Oh large, unintimidating libraries,
Oh-so-helpful librarians,
Oh! So infinitely (pronounced in-fayh-night-lee) empty places of discussions.

Allow me to break into song (and something bearing resemblance to poetry) as I describe the pin-drop silence of Nilai IUC's library. Here, there's no need for any Silent Zones. The people here can thankfully shut up. More than I might like them to shut up actually.

Anyway, I have found, Eric Arthur Blair aka George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four there. Yes, the book I have been lusting after for so long has chosen to have an intimate relationship with me for 2 weeks. This is more than I can take of course, for just a few days of rigorous workovers with 1984 is enough to leave my eyes watering and body shaking with satisfaction.

My carefree days are going to be over, as I will be studying for 4 hours a day starting from this Monday. Some Math lecturer suddenly decided to come on that date.

1984 details the sufferings of 19th Century man, Winston Smith, who has been plagued by very serious problems, one of which includes thoughtcrime(read the book). Displeased with the life he leads, he comes to believe the existence of a revolutionary group which rises among the commoners (proletariats) and strives th find a way to join them and overthrow the current, oppressive, totalitarian government of Oceania, ruled by The Party. Along the way, of course, he indulges in the forbidden fruits which were, of course, forbidden by the government. Among which includes hating Big Brother, the all-enigmatic-and-all-powerful leader of The Party, sex (duh!!), love (doubleduh!!), and eating pure chocolate. Finally.....

READ THE BOOK FOR YOURSELF!!!
This comes highly reccommended for avid readers who have really subversive ideas and/or want to see for themselves the relevance of today with the past, which has quite accurately been predicted by Orwell.

I shall end this post with a verse from 1984.

'Under the spreading chestnut tree,
I sold you and you sold me.'
-Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell
