Well, as long as you've been able to get outside and enjoy a bit of it! Usually the real heat only lasts through the end of July around here, and the first week of August was nice, but recently we've gone back to ridiculous levels of heat/humidity. Nothing much to do except hide in the AC and wait for the temperature to drop again. =/
Heh, yeah, I think those two are among his most popular--or at least the most likely to be assigned as class readings. XD I'll check out the other ones you mentioned too; I've had good luck finding them online, and you're right, Orwell does have a nice style. It also looks like the library has Futurological Congress (in English as well as the original Polish, even), and I'm planning to restock on books as soon as I'm able to leave my apartment without without bursting into flame, so I'll definitely check it out!
Awesome, look forward to seeing what you've been working on! And yeah, I guess we've learned that I'm never going to be a journalist or anybody who has to actually interview real people, ever. If it takes me hours to come up with questions for fictional people on the internet, there's no way I'd be able to do it real-time for someone sitting in front of me.
