>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 28 12:18:20 2012 No.2599080 I was kinda disappointed. It seemed there was too much values dissonance for me to really accept his message. I had trouble telling what was meant to be ironic and what wasn't.

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 28 12:27:20 2012 No.2599091 I think it's not as well-written as 1984, but its message is more relevant today.
