Homage To Orwell

I CANNOT claim any connection with wargaming for my latest read, but George Orwell's Down And Out In Paris And London certainly has historical interest.

It took me less than a day to read Orwell's even-more famous Animal Farm at school, and not a great deal longer to read his Nineteen Eighty-Four when I was in my 20s.

Down And Out required the best part of a week, but mainly because I had limited time each day.

The book would not be harmed by leaving out the unsettling chapter two and the pontificating chapter 22, but otherwise I rate it on a par with his better-known novels.

All's well that is Orwell

It has inspired me to seek out Homage To Catalonia ...
