Sometimes you read depressing stuff and appreciate it for what it says about the world even if you disliked the experience.

About "Animal Farm": I was in shock after reading the last sentence of the book, not gonna lie. Amazing. Read it in one day. 

About "1984": There is only one chapter that I find a bit boring, but I'm still gonna go back and read it again. Also, never felt more strong emotions (not gonna say which one, cause it may be a soft spoiler) while reading a book then after reading this. Specially the 3rd part. My heart stopped beating for some times there. Again, amazing last line.
