Animal Farm by George Orwell, 113 pages.I hadn't read Orwell's classic telling of a farm run by the animals (after they have chased out farmer Jones) since high school. Old Major is either Lenin or Marx, Napoleon can be Stalin, with Snowball as Trotsky. I'm not sure who Squealer is in this story, Molotov? or what's his name, Beria? Anyway, it was a better book than I remembered. Still very powerful and with the ring of truth.
