In Progress - #20: Read 15 of the All-TIME 100 Novels that I haven’t already

It's been a long summer, full of weddings, home-buying and summer conference travels. One up side to the travel? Plenty of time to read!

Tonight I wrapped up George Orwell's classic 1984. I'm sure you're wondering how I made it out of high school without reading 1984, and I'll tell you - I read Animal Farm instead. Based on my not-so-scientific poll of friends, it seems our high schools all picked one or the other.

My verdict? It was good, but I'm glad my school went with Animal Farm. Much more enjoyable to read about barnyard animals' power corrupting than about guys literally getting the individualism beaten out of them.
