What are you reading?

Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

1984 is my favourite book. It's actually an adaptation of Zamyatin's "We" and I would suggest reading both books. Personally I think 1984 is a bit more realistic only because We occurs in more of a fantasy/futuristic setting.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

I did 1984 for a book-report this year (we chose our own novels). The only thing she asked us to do was setting. It was so not fair.

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf
Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...
Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...
So glad you could stay
Forever
He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand
You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..
So glad you could stay
Forever

Make, not star in. ROBERT.
And right now I'm reading, oh.. what's this?! The Eolian Harp, for the eighty billionth time this evening? Maybe I should switch it up and give Reflections on Having Left a Place of Retirement its eighty billion and first run-through!
