Doug's Good Books

I like how Orwell (correctly) points out how some of the seemingly mindless and lowly jobs that he takes on in his crisis of poverty, are actually quite difficult. Not information that pops up in most books. Also, his writing style suits me just fine. I like how he combines a bit of literary flair with his simple no-nonsense journalistic style; and how he's ever the consumate man. Most decent writers seem at least slightly effeminate to me. Not Orwell, he's that guy down the other end of the bar; the one that dug that hole or painted that house with you today.
