I was telling my coworker about a t shirt I got. It has a picture of 3 circles that intersect in the middle. One circle is labeled 1984, one is labeled Brave New World.and one is labeled Fahrenheit 451. The area where they all intersect says "You Are Here". My coworker, married with 3 kids, in his late 20s, had never heard of 1984 or Brave New World. It made me sad.

Maybe He just wasn't Brought up Right?

You have a chance to share.

I can't remember Brave New World.

But I'm gonna make a point to reread 451 and 1984. ;)

Thanks for the Tip. :D

I had read them both by 7th grade.

Got hooked on Asimov , Bradbury , and Lovecraft. :)

Orwell scared the shit out of me.

Thirty years ago was not 1973.....it was 1993.
 That'll make you feel old.
