Ooh, good discussion! I don’t know that there’s a right or wrong to this one, actually— I think it’s a person to person thing, and everybody’s different.

For me, reading about talking animals (mostly in the Chronicles of Narnia) didn’t teach me to respect animals as living beings with souls at all— it taught me to recognize an intelligent…[Read more]

@Daeus if you don’t want those cookies… *eats first cookie, licks fingers, grins* One cookie down… *eats second cookie, licks fingers, chuckles* two cookies down… *lifts third cookie to lips, opens mouth wide…*

Daaaaeus, I’m eating your coooookieeeeees…

*freaks out* OH NOOOO!!!! CALL 911 SOMEBODY QUICK IT MIGHT NOT BE TOO LATE—!!!!!

Wait… dead people can’t type. Hm. Suspicious @Daeus. Very suspicious.

*Dead. Does not respond.*

@anna-brie ahhh, I know that feeling. 😛 Best of luck!

@anna_brie ahhh, I know that feeling. 😛 Best of luck!

Sorry @wordfitlyspoken. I think I must have forgotten you hadn’t voted yet. I’ll try to be more careful in the future and tag people if they haven’t voted yet. I guess I’m still getting my kinks out.

Ooops… now ya done it, @bluejay. 😉

That is awesome @bluejay! *cheers, throws blue confetti (cuz why not?)*

*Happens to look in before he even received his tag notification email* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

@bluejay you won’t feel faint or dizzy or have a heart attack if I tell you my word count, will you? No? Good. I got 1,027. You?

@bluejay Oh, I’m sorry about that. Thankfully it’s a short one. Only ten chapters, so it will only take us about five weeks.

Okay @bluejay ready set go!

@dbhgodreigns and @everybody We can start as soon as everybody has their book. What do you all think? Is a week too short for everybody to get a copy? I think two weeks is the most we can wait.

@overcomer I’m so sorry about smashing your hopes. It’s my intention to do that as little as possible, but time is a big consideration. I’m not incredibly surprised that your sister disliked one of the author’s other books. I’ve never read any of his other books, but I know a little bit about him. People often mistake the purpose of Animal Farm…[Read more]

Okay, no sweat @Adry_grace. 🙂 Family’s more important.

@bluejay hahaha nope, I’m writing until 9:30 so you should be good! 😀

You can get a free audio version of the book here: https://archive.org/details/GeorgeOrwellsanimalFarmRadioAudio

You can get the ebook for 99c and should definitely be able to get the paper version from most libraries.

Awesomesauce @adry_grace! Let’s see if we can make it to 8:30, that all right with you?

@overcomer it’s a political allegory— I absolutely loved it. Basically about a farm of animals who decide they’ve had enough with farmers and are going to set up their own democracy and live life fairly and equally… which devolves into utter chaos as the rules keep changing, and in the end… well… I won’t spoil it. It wasn’t a warm fuzzies…[Read more]
