We actually read it for IB as a part of Russian authors unit.

One of the few books that I remember reading, which says something about its quality.

So nice to wake up to you and flagamuffin this morning. I'm happy to vindicate you flags. But what does that quote say about love? about power? about control? Is it applicable beyond Russian dystopias?

This morning I'm listening to Billy Bragg's CD@The Internationale@ which also has Blake's @Jerusalem@ on it. -- all kinds of dystopian and utopian themes. 8bit - tell me, have you heard of Billy Bragg?
