Books 17 & 18 for this year were Brave New World & BNW Revisited by #AldousHuxley.

I made the mistake of watching the show that came out a few years back, so the book was a lot different but got the point across of controlled freedom v actual freedom. It was an okay read.

“Nowadays young people are bored and world-weary before they come of age. A pleasure too often repeated produces numbness; it's no more felt as a pleasure.” - Point Counter Point, Aldous Huxley (1928)

“There’s only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that’s your own #self. Your own self,” he repeated. So you have to begin there, not outside, not on other people. That comes afterwards, when you’ve worked on your own corner.” - #AldousHuxley,

This one is tricky. Its author is (was) a well-renowned #SciFi writer, #AldousHuxley, BUT the content of the book has nothing to do with science fiction. In fact, it is all about an amazing Flemish painter: #PieterBrueghelTheElder.

“That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach.”
