One of the local watering holes I frequent is near a local liberal arts college. The two bartenders in this story have graduated and are both around 24-25, living with their parents and still trying to figure their life out. Anyways, one of them discovers a book in a common cubby hole behind the bar. They start thumbing through it, reading a bit thumbing some more and then the other bartender comes over, and asks:
"What are you reading?
"I don't know, I just found it here, it's really interesting though" (shows the cover) "Ever heard of it?"
"No, what's it about?"
"I don't know, it's either religion or philosophy, I can't put it down"
They turn to me and ask if I had heard of it, it was George Orwell's 1984!
