There’s this guy, he lives in Russia, or I’m not sure about this, maybe it’s in England after it was conquered by Russia? And it’s during WW3 or something. Anyway the Party runs everything and everyone worships the guy who’s head of it and everyone has to listen to propaganda all the time. And the main guy, he hates this and is really sick of it but the secret police are everywhere and they kill you if you even look like you don’t like the way things are. But then this guy hooks up with this girl and they decide to try to join the secret resistance, only they end up getting caught, and he gets the living crap tortured out of him and finally they let him go because he’s too big a wimp to really be dangerous and they can always kill him later if they want.
Brave New World.
Was it written by Dr. Seuss?
Ooh! Ooh! is it Animal Farm?
Since the thread is here- what’s the name of that one book? The really long one about this guy who goes on a boat trip with all these other guys. They’re fishing or something, anyhow it’s very dangerous, and action-packed, except for all these chapters where the author goes on and on about whales for some reason. The captain of the ship has one leg and there’s a cannibal (really!). In the end the boat goes down but the main guy (was his name Isaac?) survives by floating on the cannibal’s coffin
Is that the one by Hemingway?
I’m trying to remember something about a couple of guys floating down the Mississippi on a raft. One of them might have been Black. I’m pretty sure the author’s name had “Two” in it.
OK, bare with me for a moment.
There’s, like, this dude. And he eats this nasty stuff for breakfast. And then he goes up to this other dude, and follows him around all day, and he’s like, “you should eat this gross breakfast food also.” But the other guy is like, “no, man, that stuff is gross.” But the first guy just keeps following him around. I think there may have been a restraining order involved.
That’s got to be Curious George Goes Fishing. I never actually read it all the way through (It’s like seventeen pages long!) but I did read the cliff’s notes.
How about the one with that guy who did that thing and other stuff happened? What was the name of that?
Ooh! And it has a red cover, right?
I remember that one! It happened at that place. You know, the one with all those things in it. Wow, that was a great book.
I’m pretty sure it was Bill and Ted’s Excellent Breakfast Adventure part 3.
War and Peace? or maybe I’m thinking of Starship Troopers.
How about this one? There’s this guy and this chick, see, and they’re living in the jungle with all the animals, though it’s really dirty and they don’t even have loincloths, and this talking animal, a wombat I think convinced them to eat something, maybe a banana, and then their dad gets pissed at them and kicks them out of the house.
Then some stuff happens and the sewers back up, and we see the animals again on the Staten Island Ferry, I think it was, then the old dude who was captain of the ferry gets naked (like ewww!) and then some stuff happens and then a band of good guys are running from these Islamofascist terrorists, but the Dad from the start of the book drowns the bad guys.
And then the book started talking about all this weird shit and I gave up.
