If you've visited my FB or goodreads lately you know I'm knee-deep into reading 1984. I haven't read it before, though last year I plowed through 1Q84 (which is nothing like 1984, btw).
Today I've spent most of my time completely at the will of food poisoning. Grossness aside, it gave me a few hours of reading time I don't normally enjoy during the day and I devoted those hours to lying in bed, reading 1984.
I'll say right here and now that I'll never be an Orwell -- his writing is brilliant, at times. But I think when it comes to my soon-to-be-released book BEING, I've been channeling that man. Because oh my heck! Some of the quirky things I came up with for BEING are right there, in their infancy, in 1984. It's weird and cool, all wrapped up into one.
