I’m pretty sure I was tricked into reading Anthem, along with Animal Farm.
End of 8th grade, several of the other students were talking about these two books, how the first day of 9th grade at the big scary high school there was gonna be a test on these books, so we had a summer reading assignment.
It didn’t occur to me that precisely half of us had signed up to take literature class in the Spring.
So I borrowed a copy of them and read them…for no apparent reason.
Animal Farm is basically The Soviet Union For Dummies and Anthem is basically That Other Book Ayn Rand Wrote.
