I’m probably never going to re-read it. I like Orwell’s journalism a lot but didn’t really enjoy either 1984 or Animal Farm
I saw something described as ‘1984-style’ (referring to Orwell not Kajagoogoo) and I realized it’s over 40 years since I read the book
I don’t know how much of what I understand as ‘1984-style’ is from actually reading 1984, and how much is from 40 years of people referencing it
