“As you grow older, you’ll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don’t you forget it - whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, he is trash.”  ― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird NotJustBooks.

Four legs good, two legs bad… As well as a satirical critique of Stalinism, Animal Farm is a “novella” as opposed to a novel, meaning it is quite a lot shorter - this edition amounts to only 120 pages. Which basically means, as well as gaining an understanding of Stalin’s Soviet reign in a story, you can read this classic in a single sitting, easily. So no excuses, if you haven’t already, go read it!

“…the sea’s only gifts are harsh blows and, occasionally, the chance to feel strong. Now, I don’t know much about the sea, but I do know that that’s the way it is here. And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong, to measure yourself at least once, to find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions, facing blind, deaf stone alone, with nothing to help you but your own hands and your own head…”  - Primo Levi Photo by Alex at NotJustBooks
