  • Used Book by Huxley

    Book was a good read. Had a lot of writing in it from someone who had it before, but I expected it with a used book, and it actually had good notes written inside to explain a few things I otherwise would have had to look up myself. So I was pleasantly surprised.

    The time of shipping was better than expected, the book was more than quality save a few minor blemishes, and I very much enjoy the shape of it. I appreciate the speed and reliability of the descriptions, and would recommend it at any instance.

  • A classic dystopian novel

    This is a classic science fiction novel that I felt as if I should have read before, but I hadn’t. It gives much food for thought about “assembly-line” baby production, creating a world where everyone is satisfied because they are conditioned to believe the same ideas and given a drug to keep them “happy.”

    I buy banned books to preserve for my grandchildren. This book was required reading in my senior year of high school!

  • Prescient and Relevant

    This book, along with Orwell's "1984" that among other things tried to rewrite history through the denial of the past in order to bend the facts to suit their needs. Divorced of the roots of historical reference they evolved toward a totalitarian existence. The common word is control and the books tell the dark tail of how suppressed individuality lead to the complete supremacy of the state and Big Brother. For me the lessons are salient and applicable to today. Both are somewhat tedious books and have the dark shadow of oppression. But they are critical red flags that alert us or make us more sensitive to the importance of vigilance. These are must reads and should be required at the high school level.
