    I recently read 1984 and that bit was incredibly fucking gross. Pretty much the first thing he says to this woman, when they finally get away from the surveillance and have a moment to get to know each other, is, "Hi. Only a matter of days ago, I fantasized about brutally raping and murdering you." And she's just like "ok, lets fuck"

    That was the exact moment where I went from "ok this is shallow and dull and unimaginative and transparent, but i guess it's not 100% terrible" to "fuck this book"
