I was about 20 pages into We when I had a thought.

How the fuck did Orwell get away with writing the same book? Not the exact same, but like enough to make me suspicious.

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 26 23:10:54 2010 No.1077738 >>1077729 A tyrannical government enslaves it's citizens by making them all the same. There is no individual thought and people are merely numbers and blah bleh bluh But then the protagonist starts to question these beliefs and practices...
