O Brave New World, That has such people in't...

"Don't you wish you were free, Lenina?"

"Fat; having lost here youth; with bad teeth, and a blotched complexion, and that figure (Ford!) - you simply couldn't look at her without feeling sick..."

"His back was horizontally streaked with crimson, and from weal to weal ran thin trickles of blood."

    1. Thank you!! I reeeeally loved the book! I'd read a blurb about it ages ago and was curious, but didn't read it until the end of last year when I saw the House of Illustrators/Folio Society brief which was sort of my main impetus for reading it and I'm so glad I did. It really was so ahead of its time!
