    The worst book I’ve ever read has to be 1984. The book is excellent, but did not do good things for me so it goes down as the worst

      Did you ever contrast it with Brave New World? In many ways the latter is more disturbing since the masses are kept busy with frivolity to question their world.

        Oh, interesting. I always see Huxley’s later Island as the counter to his Brave New World. Interesting to place all three side by side.
