Thanks for the tip!
If you do read Animal Farm, you're gonna want to read the wiki or something first, since the entire story is an allegory for the Soviet revolution in Russia using talking farm animals. So if you're not familiar with that history, you're probably going to be confused.
It's a good book (and short) when you understand the context, but I wouldn't recommend it to everyone the same way that I recommend 1984.
The former is looking backwards at historical events, while the latter looks forward, and describes (with disturbing accuracy) a potential authoritarian future.
Yeah I got the history and allegory part, thank you! 🙂👍
