A good read

I am not a reader, but Animal Farm and 1984 changed something in me.

Found them on the list of once banned book, I was curious enough to try to read them. I've read the premise and thought no way this is that serious. It proved me wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The ideas expressed in the books were something I faintly familiar with but reading them in these organized and structured story, it made me reflected them on a deeper level. It hit me hard, especially the last line of them. I am aware that the author was writing based on the world's situation back then. Still, to me, it is quite remarkable how much resemblance the ideas in the books have with everything going in today age. Reading them made me understand why they were banned and why they are considered as classics. I am grateful to have stumbled upon these books and gave them read.
