George Orwell.
Mmmmm, sexy beast right thurr.
Actually, truth be told, I hate his books. A lot.
Even though I've only read Animal Farm and 1984.
So why do you ask that I pick an author I don't enjoy, per se?
Easy! His literature relates to Pink Floyd, believe it or not.
First example: Animal Farm.
It's said that Roger Waters got some of his ideas from that book for Animals, a very political album about England. Waters took the animals from the book, (sheep, pigs, dogs) and related them to people in society, as Orweel did. The sheep were mindless puppet that would listen to whatever a higher positioned-person told them. Dogs were the businessmen of the world, greedy for nothing but money and power. But pigs were probably the worst. They DID have all the power and strutted around, bossing everyone around and being on top of the world.
As for 1984, I actually did an essay on this, but I won't post the whole thing on it. To make a long story short, Pink relates to both Big Brother AND Winston throughtout the album/movie.
I feel kinda smart right now, not gonna lie. o wo
