Phrases: 1984, G. Orwell

I love collecting great phrases from the books I read. I think that it would be interesting for you to read short minds, that came from a book I am currently reading. At the moment it is Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. I have finished reading this book recently. While waiting for a review, you can check these phrases.

"Big Brother is watching you"

"War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength"

"We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness"

"Who controls the past, controls the future: who controls the present, controls the past".

Wellcome to my Book Shelf!

Image Source: Wikipedia.org
Some time ago I came across a great book list. It was "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die" list. This list was compiled by the best literary critics in the world and was released as a reference book. After looking through this list I decides to start reading the book one by one. I love reading. The problem appears when I try expressing my impressions. So I challenge myself not only in reading this books but also I am going to write reviews on each book read. The third challenge I raise myself is that I am going to read this book in English. Off course, I could read them in my first language, but I suppose, that reading in English will improve my English skills tremendously.
I will share this list with so, you will be able to follow my progress. At the moment I do not have much time to read, but I hope I will be able to at least one book in a month. Also, I am planing to share my reviews on other great books (at least in my personal opinion) that are not added in the list.
Happy reading!
