The other day, faced with the choice of going to sleep in time and enjoy a nice normal 8 hours of sleep and not doing so, I read the whole of Orwell's Animal Farm.
That book rocks so hard it could kill someone if it fell on their crotch.
You know the one I'm talking about right? The one in which the animals of the farm revolt against the farmer and establish a republic of their own? One sweet pice of novella action, I tell you right now! :p Indeed, I became so obsessed with the work that there's even one reference to it in comic #82!

Not only is it funny, but it's one of them works that really leaves you thinking when you turn the last page. And I got almost all of the historical references (which animal represented what) right.

Almost made me feel happy about wasting my infance away reading history books.
