I felt so close to slipping into depression after reading it. I swear the world grew a shade darker for me afterwards. The torture scene is unbearable to read in it, because you’re hoping and hoping and hoping that Winston will somehow outfox him, that human nature saves the day… and, well, you know.
Thankfully, was more prepared for the film, but it was still horribly dark. Oranges and Lemons will never be the same, anyway. ;)
I did get the CD! Thank you!
Dude, I thought I'd told you, but Timothy must have conked out before I did. It's absolutely brilliant-- am listening to it far too often. I'll e-mail you about it tomorrow, when boss is off and the web-mailage computer is free. >:)
