bwings is reading those books one at a time.
I knew I had watched the movie when I was younger but all I could remember from it was a pigs skull. I also remembered not being particularly fond of it at some point. When I get to the (not going to spoil it) part about boxer I remembered and wished it was over sooner :( I could remember the move then :(
It all came flooding back.

llong is glowing slowly but surely
I learned a lot from reading Animal Farm. Many of its allusions to Communism may now be seen as quaint, but the book underscores the importance of literature in cleverly positing a message far deeper than its storyline.

I have a nice list of about 20 books that I love! This one is definitely on it!
I think I read this book in 9th grade and I remember it being the first book where the imagery just popped out at me. I could see the animals in my head and hear their voices. It was a great book.
Everyone should read it.

This is an awesome book. Probably shaped my view of the world more than any other book I have read. The one thing that made GCSE english memorable.
I never managed 1984; this on the other hand is a doddle.

If you’ve recently read Orwell’s 1984, Animal Farm is like a breeze. Similar in alot of ways, Animal Farm is a far less dense tale that you could probably tell to children.
It read very fast( I think I had it done in probably under 2 hours if you tally’ed it together).
Although with all Orwell, please read, or at least have some understanding of Marxism first to so you get the satire.

One day about five years ago it was one of those Spring days where it’s sunny and you just have to be outside.
I stopped by a bookstore and bought a copy of Animal Farm because I always wanted to read it. I sat in the grass and read the whole book in a couple of hours.

All the chapters are wow.
Finished!
It was interesting but it will only get interesting-er when I do some post-reading background research.
