It's funny, isn't it, how different things are when you are some place new / off auto-pilot. I'm always amazed at how many cognitive resources need to go into the simplest navigation task etc when I go off the beaten path.
I never read animal farm. I think because I was never prescribed it in school - but I was aware that many people were and there was a bunch of social commentary code that I wouldn't get because I don't know anything about the governments etc that the book was talking about.
I started "Gulliver's Travel's" recently... But gave up. Same reason... Social commentary that was lost on me.
Just started "Frankenstein"
