I have actually been reading too many cranks these days, but none of them talked about him. Plus, I know how to subject myself to new information and hear it out without becoming a hardcore supporter of it. If anyone can change my mind, they can surely try, and I will concede defeat if it actually occurs.

I don't think I mentioned anything about other books or essays he may have written. I don't have much of a use in an author if he lacks anything pure or redeeming in one of his books, and 1984 didn't supply any of that. I'm glad I read that book, but I won't touch anything else by him for the foreseeable future.
