The other evening my daughter was sitting on the couch reading a book and being curious as to what it was, I asked her what was the name of the book. And I was quite surprised to hear that it was Animal Farm by George Orwell.
Initially, I was a bit surprised that a 7th grader would be reading something as 'heavy' as this even though I haven't read it myself and didn't really know what the depth or complexity of this book were really like.
She was a little way into the book and I asked her how she liked it. She replied "I like it alot!" I was satisfied with her answer and went about my business.
A few minutes later my wife called her into the kitchen to help with something involving dinner so she marked her place in the book, put it down, and went to help my wife.
Being curious as to what Animal Farm was like, I picked it up and started to read the introduction to the book. I soon found myself totally engrossed in the book and soon passed where my daughter had left off. Over the last few nights, I've been reading it a little here, a little there and I have to say that it's a totally interesting book.
I'll have to finish it without interfering with my daughter's assignment to read it for her English class.
While I'm still reading it I have to say that it isn't the hard-core mentally draining thinking novel that I thought it was. But then again....I might be missing some of the finer points in the book without realizing it.
Who knows.....maybe I'll read 1984 and see what that's like.
