It's like these people on this site who can't recall the name of the State they live in or give a reasonable explanation why they wake up just to post at 5am.
To visit, maybe, but they're so lame to live in.
Read it when I was 14. Need to read it again.
Cracks me up when people claim it's about the USSR and the perils of Socialism. It's not Petrov Slatisnovska drinking cheap vodka and, oh, not speaking Russian in Moscow in a world divided into three regional powers pretending to squabble with each other for a reason.
One need only go to our real 1984 + 5 to see it in action, when we went from evil Ruskies out to get us and "Iz next, svimvwear" to sexy Russian models and Rocky IV (The 3rd World War), Amerika, and Red Dawn becoming totally uncool overnight. What a friggin joke.
Heck, Putin is the idol now of the very sorts who had wanted to nuke the USSR just in case.
When I was a wee Vaga, I used to beg my father to take us to Rome so much (and to no avail) I got sick of it. 'Bout the closest I ever got to Europe was Montreal.
Now I want an RV so I can travel America, live in different small towns for a month or so each. Canada too, through Niagara and make my way to Prince Edward Island and all around there then westward.
Other than that and the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and the Falklands, I don't give a crap about the rest of the world (much).
I would like to of to Tierra del Feugo tho.
Actually Iceland would be cool to see to, weird likeTierra del Fuego, stranger even,,,
Greenland was actually greener back then (Medieval Warimng Period). Part of the proof that Global Warming is nonsense.
