Left Books @lemm.ee squid @feddit.uk Eric Arthur Blair Aka George Orwell.
Personally I very much enjoy Orwells books, Down and Out in Paris and London has to be one of my favorite book of his just for the issues the book tackles and tackles well. Orwell goes headlong in to class structures depicting his day to day of his life as a tramp, the simple yet devastating way he got into that situation and the all in-composing despair of financial ruin.
Also the communist that drinks all the milk to spite his boss had me hard.
Then Orwell later writes Animal Farm...
