    It’s good to add the other two too but I never could read brave new world, I struggled page by page and gave up. Can not name a specific reason other than I could not get into it.

    From a story perspective it should be perfect for me.

      Aldos Huxley is not a great writer. I think he had a better understanding of humanity than Orwell… Or at least, I feel like his books are more insightful, but he is not as good of a writer.

        One of the few times reading a translated book is better tgan the original, I read it in Spanish and I guess the translator made it more tolerable because I’m not much of a reader at all (I’ve read at most five books on my own, less if we don’t count unfinished)
