Brave New World/ Aldous Huxley
Artiste Extraordinaire:
I haven't read Eyeless in Gaza, but I don't think it's a utopian novel (could be wrong, I always just thought it was a pacifist book). Nineteen Eighty-Four (not 1984, although that's just pedantic) and Brave New World win the prize for second best and third best pieces of English literature from me. The best is Catch-22 by Joseph Heller, which EVERYONE SHOULD READ.
Also, open question: should Brave New World be made into a film? Nineteen Eighty-Four was (in 1984) and it wasn't so bad. So was Catch-22, and it was pretty average, but considering the scope of the source material it's understandable. The setup of Equilibrium, with The Christian Bale, basically merges Nineteen Eighty-Four and Brave New World together, and I think that weakened it a bit conceptually. So would Brave New World make for a shit film, or a good one?

Soma or Room 101?!
Umm . . . Soma please.
Very well!
You there, Soma or Room 101?
I'll have Soma as well please.
Sorry, we're all out of Soma.
So . . . my choices are "or Room 101?"

or the room with all the soma and massive orgy. or the feelies.
the idea of feelies freaks me out.
Garcin:
It occurred to me after I posted that, that the only way somebody could understand it is if they knew 1984, Brave New World, and Eddie Izzard fairly well, and even then they probably wouldn't find it funny. I feel dirty.
