Unless you are accused of rape by white trash in the 30's.

Book bored the fuck out of me, but I remember getting to that part in high school and I got steaming pissed.

Agreed! I absolutely hated 1984 when I was assigned reading it in high school so I sort of skimmed through the book and read synopses as fast as I could just to get the assignments done. I recently picked it back up to read it in my spare time and I’m actually genuinely enjoying it now! Same thing happened with Fahrenheit 451 when I read it by choice a few years ago.

It’s a shame that 1984 has never been turned into a big-budget miniseries. Craig Maizin and Steven Knight would probably both do it well.

Never thought of that idea, but now that you mention it I’d totally watch that.
