Whats up. First post
I'm 21 about to be 22 and I've found a sudden fondness in literature, and right now I'm getting to the classics that...well...pretty much need to be read. I read 1984 a few months ago, and I haven't gotten around to reading animal farm.
Its going to be my next read, but I've heard its best when you know about Russia and Germany at the time or something. Figures like Stalin and other famous people are represented.
Can anyone recommend a good book on what to read before reading animal farm that will give a good understand of the time and whats going on?
