I purchased George Orwell's 1984. I haven't read any novel at all, even when I was at school.
Any tips on how to read and approach novels? Is there a certain way to read them or imagine them that makes novels enjoyable?
Do you just read it the same way you do with a newspaper?
How to get started on reading novels?
Besides reading the novel itself, I am going to write down words I don't know to build up vocabulary.

why would you do this when you can just copy/paste shitposts from 4chan into Word? wham presto compile them all and publish it on Amazon, calling it "Wisdom of the Crowds" Vol. 2022 or something

did you study 1984 in high school and if so did you enjoy it? am a teacher trying to develop some interesting lessons about it rn
