We did 1984 as our text in first term. It is indeed a good book, a slow starter, but the last part especially is very good (with O'Brien, I don't want to spoiler anymore). It is not so much an exploration of Marxism per se, but rather a borader attack on any totalitarian regime, an attack on the lack of limitation of power. Anywayz, yeah am cathcing up on my work as well, or rather ,organising it in vain. I spent a good 3 hours tidying up my room today. LOL
