Just read Animal Farm for the first time, absolutely loved it.

Didn't read it for school. Just for fun. I did read brave new world in 9th though, enjoyed it.

>for the first time

Like how do you go 18+ years living and just read that book for the first time, it's like a staple for schools if you live in the English speaking world

Never was required to read it for some reason, idk.

I never read it for school either, and only read it for leisure after high school.

I like the rules slipping to account for the new activities of the elite. I think it's shown in our politics even today, where one side gives powers to the executive branch when they're in power, but as soon as they leave they rail against said executive powers.

Have you finished reading the entire western canon? How can you go 18 years without having read every single item in the western canon? You like a tard or somethin?

Fuck off.

I think that it is the perhaps the best piece of satire ever written in the English language (except perhaps "A Modest Proposal") - Hilarious, disturbing, thought-provoking and short.

In my school the regular English classes read Animal Farm in Grade 10, while my advanced class never read the book (By Grade 10 we were already onto Crime and Punishment) - I had to read it myself over the summer.

They didn't have it as curriculum I'm my school. Still read it when I was in sophomore year though.
