Excellent book! I love Orwell and I think it's too bad that most people only go as far as reading Animal Farm and 1984.
He could be funny as well (even while being insightful). Coming Up for Air has some great critiques of the direction Britain was going in before the war, and was fairly prescient about what was to come, while also being extremely funny. It's too bad most people aren't aware of that side of his writing.
That was disgusting, I breathly thought about that scene whilst biting into a hotdog last night 😂
The guarding of billy beef is something out of bullshit jobs and the way he expresses and explains it with the old gent reverting back to gardening, basically started a farm, this is my favourite scene so far, and Christ he's mad about trout!
