Yes when you read about Stalin changing the history in the newspapers and things, and then read 1984 it is quite interesting. I wonder if Orwell thought Winston would be a popular name in the future as he wrote it in the time of Churchill. Didn't seem to take off though did it?
Oddball
Sep 18 2005, 07:48 PM
Not really....
You mention stalin. Is there a book on that entitled 'Stalin' I think I saw it once.....is it any good?

That's the one with the rats in (for Winston).
I remember booking into a hotel once and them giving me the key for room 101, and I just said "Oh no that's the room with the rats in". I don't think the receptionist had read 1984, she gave me such a look
