I found a battered copy of 1984 in a school hallway once. At the time I hate books because I mostly read the ones we were taught in English class, which were mostly Hardy Boy-esque type books so I all books were like that. After reading 1984 I realized what books actually were and I've been an avid reader since then. I have a bookshelf filled with books, and then when I run out of space I'm filling up the floor around it with books. And I still have that worn copy of 1984.
