I have been slacking on my reading due to a lack of sleep. I did manage to get a few chapters read last night however, and what I read shocked me!
WINSTON SMITH IS MARRIED!
Take a few minutes to let that sink in, I know I had to.
Are you back? Okay, good. So yeah, that creepy woman-hater somehow managed to find someone. I'm still single by the way. I think that makes me resent the character even more so.
Please don't assume that my distaste for the protagonist transfers into a distaste for the book. I have no problem reading a story about someone I don't connect with. It is a lesson I learned from watching movies. It's not the characters that matter, it's their stories.
So with all that said, I continue my journey through 1894.
P.S. Hope you're still with me!
