A startling book for sure. I'm still not sure what to think of it. I found each character and both the Civilization and the Savage Community disgusting in some way or another. You're right when you say they're all good and evil. Terrible humanity is. Ahh, I finished this a couple weeks ago. A startling book for sure. I’m still not sure what to think of it.

That may be why i read brave new world, i cant remember. it is pretty awesome how old the book is and how applicable it is still. I think it would be better known than 1984 if it didnt touch on such taboo subjects. I still think we should raise kids the way they do in the book. I read his dystopian version, The Island, after it but it dont remember as much from it as I do BNW. The Island got a little confusing as to what he was trying to get across, with all the islander's ways and the characters. Big dog - if you could knock off Ulysses for me next that would be great. its been banned a ton and is supposed to be one of the great English works in some circles. after reading the list again ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/banned_book ) i think i'll get Lolita next, that seems like an interesting book. If i ever write a book, its only goal will be to end up banned from as many places as possible. I enjoy going to banned book lists when looking for something to read.

I'm picking it up tomorrow from my library. I have never read any Huxley, so this will be fun. Sex, drugs, orgies???? I’m picking it up tomorrow from my library.
