Currently having popcorn, reading about Orwell (gently and considerately) bash Tolstoy for his bashing of Shakespeare. It's very intense!

"People, so the thought runs, ought to be discontented, and it is our job to multiply our wants and not simply to increase our enjoyment of the things we have already."

that last essay (on gullivers travels) completely redeemed this book for me, a very insightful text on politics and art :)

so far it's a 2:1 ratio of essays with no contemporary media topic to essays on contemporary media that i neither understand nor know about, much less care about. the first and third essay are cutesy and whimsical and carry a distinct fondness of life and nature, and the second is about a man whose work i assume was well known by orwell's peers and readers alike, but i know little about. i like it so far yaaaaay
