That strikes me as a bit bizarre,
because almost any person of
normal reading ability EXPERIENCES
"1984" and could not forget the story
if he wanted to. We are not talking
about multiple story lines and dozens
of characters to keep track of, after
all. You have never experienced
the novel, or you would be thoroughly
ashamed to post such a comment
(though you are to be preferred to
the literary poseurs -- too many of
which hang out in misc.writing --
trying to impress others by
pretending to have read and
understood books that their posted
comments reveal them to be
little-acquainted with).
