One of the great dystopia classics. I first read it in the late 80's and recently found it in a used book store and re-read it. It's a chilling tale and strangely so appropriate - environmental degradation, conformity and squashing of other opinons. Everyone should read this book.

Caught at the Full Moon Cafe. A little worse for the wear. I will doctor it up a bit with some tape.

Found it in a foreign language used bookstore in beautiful Yangshuo, paid $8 for it! Tape still attached. Read it in two days whilst in my dingy apartment in Guilin. Will probably trade it in for something else.
