Animal Farms - George Orwell

• Read it in August 2026
• Small and easy to read, I finally completed a book after a long time
• It’s so relatable to whats happening in thee world. Very entertaining and engaging, didn’t have a single dull moment. I couldn’t put it down and probably finished it in couple of days. Felt really good after reading it. Loved the analogies it presented

• I picked this up on my recent trip to Chennai (September 2026)

I finished this in about a week.
• Had some wonderful characters I will remember – Midori – Toru Watanbe – Naoko – Hatsumi…
