Those of you that are looking at this have no doubt read Nineteen Eighty-Four and probably enjoyed it. What was your favourite bit or, which part was the most atmospheric? For me it was Part Three, inside the Ministry of Love. So I though, hang on, I cn maek teh mapz and this is a great setting to use.

:shock:

It's where the term "big brother" came from originally. It's much like what they show on TV now but channel 4's version is more depressing and mind-numbing.

Looking forward to seeing what you do Renegatus

And Room 101, which I thought was a bit of an anticlimax to an otherwise outstanding book.

I didn't like Brave New World as much, it was less... established.

The moment where the guy (Winston?) gets busted and all the agents storm in and the "old man" reveals him to be in disguise took me quite off guard. I wasn't quite expecting that particular way of getting busted.

And he comes a chopper to take off your head!

I started reading 1984 but got bored quickly. I'm reading Brave New World at the moment.

There will be a conference room in the centre to debate great works of fiction, and a boxing ring outside to settle difference's of opinion
