I had never read it before!
"He loved Big Brother."

14. I just saw that on TMC last weekend (or rather, the last hour of it) |
|
I may buy the DVD one day--they did a good job with that one.

Winston was portrayed exactly as I had pictured him when I had first read that book.

13. You're living 1984 right now |
|
It is fitting that you should read it at this time.
That has been one of my favorites for over 20 years. I have a commemorative edition paperback, published in 1984. It is well-worn as I read it at least once a year.
