So, I've been in a bit of a classics kick lately. For my different book challenges that I am doing (#ReadHarder, PopSugar, Geeky Girl Bingo), some of the challenges call for you to read books over 100 years old, classics of the 20th century, books you haven't read since high school, etc. I chose Animal Farm to reread after at least 15 years' absence, and I'm so glad I did. I feel like I understood more of what Orwell was trying to get across to the reader than I did in high school. Nineteen Eighty-Four was always a favorite of mine, but I have a new appreciation for Animal Farm now.
The plot consists of a farm in England where the animals are fed up with how they are treated by their human master. They mount a successful revolution and try to govern themselves, but find themselves soon under a worse situation than before when the pigs take over government. "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
