You might be full of this discussion but i will ask anyway. What is lit`s opinion on Brave new World. How much came true, what didn`t and how overrated is it?
And what do you think about Island and can Aldous ideas be actually used to better society?
schöne???
can someone explain to me his use of the word 'pneumatic' ? seems like it is used throughout the novel to refer to plump women in a neutral way [sometimes they self-refer as pneumatic, whence the "neutral" I guess] but for some reasons it sounds very close to a back-handed compliment (airhead... that was what I thought when I first read it)
also im not a native but I believe it is not used outside of this book

> having a well-proportioned feminine figure; especially : having a full bust
>>9948853
yeah thats what I thought, but I still can't comprehend how women let themselves be called that without feeling insulted by the obvious second possible interpretation
I guess im gonna call stupid girls pneumatic and pretend it was a compliment when called out on it
