Comments:
It was short(er) book week for me. 1984 will undoubtedly take me the greater part of the week to complete. Comments on Brave New World will be in a separate post. Dr. Jekyll... was a fairly easy read and quite to-the-point, which I appreciated. I found it to be an interesting read, although I'm sure it would've been a bit more captivating if the split-personality concept weren't already ingrained in our minds as plot devices.
I enjoyed some chapters of Screwtape Letters better than others. I found some parts difficult for me to understand. Overall, a good commentary on human nature and temptation. I think I might post a couple more quotes later on (read: filler).
