Anthem
I finished it like last week, I stopped reading 1984 midway through so I could read Anthem. I thought it was a really interesting book. Fascinating really. It made me imagine how life would be for me if I lived in a society like that. Where ego is the worst thing possible. Where you never used personal pronouns like I or he or she because it wasn't even in their societies vocabulary. Instead of using “I” you would use the word “we”. Example: We like chicken. It was kind of confusing for me to read at first to comprehend whether the guy was talking about himself only or him and somebody else. But after like twenty pages it was pretty easy. I am not going to explain everything about the book because you should go read it on your own and make your own opinions about it. So, if you haven’t read it you should and plus you have to read it for honors english your sophomore year anyways. Now I just have to finish 1984, if I can even find it.
