Amazon blurb: "Far in the future, the World Controllers have created the ideal society. Through clever use of genetic engineering, brainwashing and recreational sex and drugs all its members are happy consumers. Bernard Marx seems alone harbouring an ill-defined longing to break free. A visit to one of the few remaining Savage Reservations where the old, imperfect life still continues, may be the cure for his distress..."

For some reason, I seem to have two copies of this book! How odd. Anyway, I guess I'll be releasing this one to the wild soon. :)

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

On its way through the mail to Nu-Knees. :3

Thank you, Gravecat! It's at least 40 years since I last read this so I'm looking forward to reading it again to see how the years may have changed my perception of its message - but with the number of unread books in the house, that probably won't be any time soon!

I think I prefer the cover art on this edition to that illustrated above ... as shown here!

As part of a shelf-tidying exercise, I'm reclassifying some of permanent collection as available! I never did get around to re-reading it!

Left in the porch with the other fundraising books - please donate the requested 20 pence, thank you!

Over a million people around the world give their books a unique BookCrossing IDentity number (BCID) before sending them out to find new readers. Since the start of the scheme in April 2001 well over 9 million such books have been put into circulation. This is one of them!
Our hope is that we can track the progress of our books once they've left our hands - and that's possible if finders like you visit the website, key in the BCID and leave a comment, however long or short. It's fun, it doesn't cost anything and you can remain anonymous if you wish. You don't have to join but if you do you'll be able to number and track your own books!
