Well, there's always the hazard of over population...
But yes, I'm taking this to literaly as well. I guess if I actually read the book, I'll have the right to discuss it. :D

It's a metaphor for communist Russia, nothing more.

Of course, this is my opinion. And quite a few people disagree with me, saying the ending was spectacular and orginal.
I agree with you, I hated that damn last book. The ending was horrible, and I've read it once, don't want to read it again.

He means 1984. It's worth reading, though not as good as Animal Farm. I've not read The Handmaid's Tale, whatever that is...

You won't like it. It's got enough smut to make a HP fanfic writer cry. And it's very feminist. And yet they compare it to Orwell and the English teacher recommends it.

I heard Heart of Darkness was about a conga line...

I have never heard of that one. I don't like Orwells writing so I don't think I would like it.
