i gave up

After much mental struggle & debates with myself,
i finally decided to give up on a book
i was trying hard to read:







Yup. The famous classic -- George Orwell's 1984.



Perhaps my literature level is really low,
but i read 1/4 of the book, and i still had no clue (nor interest)
in what's going on.

The voice of the narrator is agitating,
the storyline unclear,
and there are no interesting characters nor developments.



i had a feeling that the only way
to understand what this book is about,
is to read sparknotes or go back to eng. lit. class to study--
neither of which i'm motivated to do
(nor do i think should be the right way,
if i were only reading a fiction for leisure?!).



Anyhow, therefore i made up my mind
to announce my first incomplete assignment
ever since launching The 365 Project: 1984.



Yes. Despite the fact that i was born in 1984.
Haa!
