Sometimes when I read a book I get what I call "a feeling" not exactly a thought, but something deeper that hits hard and I don't know where it's coming from and why .. I'll have to sit down and try to understand why I got that feeling ..
Doesn't happen a lot, but it happened in 1984, it was fear I think, in the scenes when Winston was in captivity let's say .. And the thought that came to me was "the world could have gone either way, and we must be thankful for people who kept democracy alive" .. Because if the west (as we know it right now) was a dictatorship, it would have been way more ruthless than anything you've ever seen.
