For anyone who has not read 1984 from Georges Orwell here is a link to Amazon to purchase and educate yourselves. Just imagine the same story but with a Philip K. Dick twist integrating 21st-century tracking technology on citizens.
You are technically correct (best kind)
however many editions of the book have been published with only the number "1984" on the cover
When even the publisher gets it wrong, it's hard to find much fault in random internet comments
Just a heads up, the paperback version on the Amazon link doesn't appear to be the Hays translation. I ordered after seeing your post (thanks!) and used this link:

Might want to edit in smile. before your link as well so charity gets some $$$. :)
Pooh is intentionally simple minded and comparing trump's garbage to that beautiful simple bear is just not fair!
Side note, check out "the Tao of pooh" as it shows why pooh is so wonderfully simple. The Tao of Pooh https://www.amazon.com/dp/0140067477/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_6UbeCbQ3ZHQEQ
Amazing how people get upset over piracy, like it's their right. Go buy the damn thing.
Here's a damn link, honestly it costs fuck all, stop being a tight arse.
Edit: Go ahead and downvote, but fuck me if you want something for free then take what you're given, if not then buy the damn thing.
Dune, by Frank Herbert. It's just a really good book. It's got everything: politics, religion, romance, good v evil, adventure, magic, science, poetry, beautiful description, excellent dialogue. It's one of my all-time favorites. I read it again last year for the first time in about 20 years, and it was still amazing. Re-reading the rest of the series this year.
You seem to have misunderstood the concept of the term "thoughtcrime". Here's a link to the authoritative treatise on the subject if you want to brush up.
First, a quote: "Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present." - Marcus Aurelius
Second, seriously, buy the book of wisdom about him. I promise you it's on the shelf with dog-eared pages of every successful person you'll ever meet.
Third, don't worry about the world ending. It's not, it won't.
You're living in literally (literally) the safest, most prosperous time in all of human history. You're fine. Shit is fine.
Get of social media. You're being mislead by dumb people saying dumb things about stuff they don't, nor ever will, understand.
You're just being subjected to the information overload fallacy. That's all.
You think what your read is real. It's not. Example, gun violence in America has fallen to all time historic lows, but reporting on gun violence in the last 20 years has increased 300%. So people think there's some crisis now, when it's the safest it's ever been.
You're fine. The planet is fine. The US is fine. Go enjoy life.
>As someone already said...for now. Get a hard copy, just in case. 1984 is, frankly, scarily prescient.
1984 - George Orwell Signet Classics Amazon
In terms of the middle ground of great quality and decent cost I think the overall best package at the moment is the Alan Lee illustrated boxset from last year:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hobbit-Lord-Rings-Boxed-Illustrated/dp/0008376107
If you are patient and not in a rush there’s a single hardcover volume being released in October of this year that’s supposed to include Tolkien’s original illustrations. I think the cover art is quite nice as well. Price isn’t bad either for hardcover.
https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-Illustrated-J-R-R-Tolkien/dp/0358653037
I hope people will use this money to buy a copy of George Orwell's 1984 book.
https://www.amazon.com/1984-Signet-Classics-George-Orwell/dp/0451524934
Because the irony would be so wasted on the stupid.
Those LoTR books are gorgeous. I’d love to get a set like that.
edit found them on Amazon. Only $50 Canadian. Not bad.
The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings: Deluxe Pocket Boxed Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/0544445783/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_A8EY4CHCMG45A92Q3PNE
I got these for Christmas a couple years back. Used them to read the series for the first time and I absolutely love them. The font is small but manageable.
I have this version. It is great. Whenever I read a passage from it I have to sit back and think for a while because it blows my mind.
OP, I think you will benefit from reading it. It uses plain English. Here it is on amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Meditations-New-Translation-Marcus-Aurelius/dp/0812968255
The Meditations, fortunately, have been widely published and are almost certainly available in your native language.
I had this same set, then had The Hobbit and Fellowship stolen when my car window was smashed and the backpack they were in was taken. Two years I sat frustratingly staring (not the entire time) at an incomplete box set. Just recently I simply had to right this wrong and picked up a new set of them, which has also inspired me to re-read all the way through again.
By the way, this pocket edition set is amazingly fair priced for its quality, look, and feel. And although they are pocket editions, they are extremely readable in my opinion. Highly recommended, $28 bucks on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0544445783/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_AfMjBbPX4HYEH
No redpill reading would be complete without Marcus Aurelius: Meditations. 1900 years ago they were dealing with the same issues, human nature hasn't changed at all.
$4 on amazon
Its called "1984" by George Orwell. If you ever hear the term "Orwellian" that originates from his work in "1984".
I hope not, I love the movies and I read half the hobbit but then the pandemic made me return the book to my HS so I just bought em
If anyone else is interested this is what I bought and now it’s on sale

Links go to the American Amazon store.
I saw them in the US at Barnes and Noble a few weeks back. Here's the link from the web store, you may be able to find it there if you want to get it in person.
Amazon seems to have it for half the price though, if you can wait.

Good eye! It's the recent edition illustrated by Allen Lee
The price fluctuates between £100 down to the mid 50's so keep an eye on it and you should be able to pick them up without breaking the bank.
I got the paperback edition just cause I like having physical copies of things, but I think the kindle one is free
This is a nice set if you want something for travel (kind of sounded like it):

I have this one and found it quite easy to follow: https://www.amazon.com/Meditations-New-Translation-Marcus-Aurelius/dp/0812968255/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=meditations+marcus+aurelius&qid=1627377611&sprefix=meditations&sr=8-1
