We are reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. The book is the typical novel you find in a high school english class. I'm sure you know the kind I am talking about. Some famous author from before you or I were even born was sitting at his/her desk, under a tree, or maybe walking in the street just thinking about the future. A future that wasn't very bright but of totalitarian rule and lacking individualism. Ha ha on a lighter note...Oh wait there is no lighter note. Anyways the book is very disturbing in ways of its ideas on morality and I almost stopped reading after the second chapter but I just seemed not able to put the book down. Though it made me vomit in my mouth(Sorry for that visual) and call my nephews & neices to make sure they were still not interested in the opposite sex. I think what I am trying to say is that I can't stop reading because I am so intrigued by the fact that this stuff actually came out of someone's head and what if were actually like that. I thought to myself as I read, sadly, that this could happen to our society along with books like George Orwell's 1984 or Ray Bradburry's Fahrenheit 451. I guess you won't really understand unless you read the book. I won't say that its good but I will say its interesting enough to reel the reader in and maybe gag a little.
