Is it cold in here?:
"Aspergirls", a book about girls and women on the spectrum from an "us" perspective.

Currently reading a locally written book about the sports history of my hometown, in particular the GAA. I'm mainly reading it because there's a significant section about my father. The author talks about how he's one of a handful of people in the country's history who won medals for Hurling and football (soccer) at the provincial level in the same year in 1968.

Only On Basilisk Station, the first of the series. I think I remember enjoying it, but it was like 20 years ago.

I've basically finished 1984, just getting through the appendix right now. Its really good and quite sad. I found myself being paranoid while walking through the city streets to and from work while listening to it. I did have a question about the ending though. We see 2 endings simultaneously for the protagonist.
(click to show/hide) In one he dies and the other he is just a regular at the cafe and totally believes in Big Brother
Is this just narrative doublespeak on what happened to him? Both endings are happening at the same time (or so it seems narratively) but cannot both happen at the same time since they would be contradicting themselves which is doublespeak right?
TheEvilDog:
(click to show/hide)The ending essentially says that Big Brother broke Winston. He walks away to live his life, but he is dead on the inside.
