So... I didn't read 1984. I've got an essay due on a theme developed throughout the novel tomorrow...

I went to a pay for essay site, pulled chunks from multiple samples, and am going to mix and mash them together until I create a suitable, nay passable essay on the theme of totalitarianism.

All because I chose to read Lolita in my spare time instead of a book outlining the inevitable future of society.

Lolita general because I prefer prose to frustration.

If there's grass on the field play ball.

A pick up game on the smooth cement never hurt anyone though. . .

Just so you know, Lolita is also about frustration.

Pale Fire is superior, if you want to read Nabokov.

Homage to Catalonia is superior if you want to read Eric Arthur Blair.

You're lucky your school doesn't make you submit assignments to turnitin or something similar. You will need to once you reach college/uni, so you better get ready to do your own work you little punk.

I guess, but there were some beautiful moments in that work...

Hey I'm not complaining, fuck high school assignments, but take it from a fourth year uni student, leaving assignments to the last day will either be the cause of your dropping out, or, if you're like me, you'll develop an art out of cramming, which is a pathetic thing to be good at.

OP, you're retarded.

But yeah, I understand the cramming concept. Fortunately enough for /lit/ majors, cramming is possible. Nearly anything else, short of those definition courses like biology, are impossible to cram in a night.

Good thing I don't want to be a /lit/ major and am going to a community college for 2 years to wipe off the initial classes. I read for enjoyment, not profession.

Never read 1984?
Everyone should post the age they read 1984 to humiliate OP.

15.

Must have been 12 or 13.
The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism shaped my politics then.

Nothing has changed. I'm a major conspiracy theorist.

1984 is really short, you lazy fuck.

I disagree. Partly because they're different generations of books. Pale Fire being Post-modernist, Lolita being Modernist. They easily both have their merits, but I liked Lolita more.
