Quick Question...

What does the windmill symbolize?

Oh, How we love the Wikipedia....

I am also starting the League of Libro Junkies maiden voyage choice this weekend. Special thanks to Google and Wikipedia for giving us a glimpse of an artist interpretation of the flag that flies over Animal Farm. Now, I can’t speak for any symbolic resemblance it may have with Fantasy Football, but I can say it’s pretty much a knock off of the ‘ol hammer and sickle. Hmmmm….we say while stroking our chins in thought....

My Animal Farm Intentions...

I fully intend to start reading Animal Farm THIS weekend...

I am going to ignore the thoughts of the Yeti
and embrace brushing up on my Russian History before diving into the text...

thank you all.

Tragedy

....I'm tired and there's two holes in my ceiling.

ps - the only history i'm going to brush up on is my draft history for fantasy football. if this "stalin" can't rush for 3 touchdowns i'm not interested.

Animal Farm

I suggest brushing up on your Russian history before starting this book.
You don't need to know too much. Just know the major players involved with
the revolution (i.e. Stalin, Lenin,Trotsky etc.)
Knowing this will make the reading easier.

Heres what I have so far:
Old Major - Marx
Napoleon - Stalin
Snowball - Trotsky
Squealer -Molotov

First Book People of the World

....George Orwell's 'Animal Farm'. More details to follow. Get out of here.
