Only 13 out of 100 (sigh). But better than last week. 😆
I'm tagging 1984 because I thought it would be on the list but wasn't.

There is no joy watching every predicted fear come true , there is no smug condescension in saying I told you so as this regime proves that us "overdramatic, doomsday, ridiculous people " were right.
I pray that enough people can and do fight back to stop it quickly.

I read this in high school and it started my love for dystopian novels. More recently I don't read much of the genre anymore because it is just too real sometimes 😬

Feeling slumpy so calling it for March. Full of #banned dystopian paperbacks and LGBTQIA+ ebooks to cheer me up.
Edit: +1 Finished The Handmaid‘s Tale late last night/early this morning.
pick“Dead Famous“ is a sharp, funny, and ultimately disturbing look at the dark side of reality television and the lengths people will go to for fame. It‘s a thought-provoking commentary on a culture where entertainment often trumps human decency, and where the line between reality and fiction becomes increasingly blurred.
pickI read this for the first time in 27 years. It was much more impactful to me at this point in my life compared to when I was in college. I had also forgotten most of the work itself. I started with the Audible adaptation with Andrew Garfield and enjoyed it so much, I then listened to Orwell‘s original work. It remains a thought-provoking, relevant work.
