Animal Farm

by George Orwell
Dakota County Library audiobook, 3.25 hours
read by Patrick Tull
genre: ? dystopia? Social commentary

Again, wrong book for me at the time. This is one I feel I ought to have read at some point in the last 25 years, so I finally read it. I'm glad it's short. The corruption and growing cruelty of the pigs toward the other animals frustrated me. Their willingness to consider their own memories wrong and accept whatever Napoleon told them made me sad. I had to take many breaks from the story, just because it bothered me so much. I probably should read some analytical studies of it, but I'm just glad I'm done.
