Orwell took a bullet through the neck fighting fascists in Spain. That ought to count for something.

    Honestly a great book. It treats a clearly socialist revolution as both possible and desirable, and showcases the bravery required for it. Plus the opening page is homo as fuck "queer, the affection one can feel for another man." And Orwell's hypermasculinity can be honest to goodness so out there it's funny.
