Too Much Reading

Apparently, in school we're starting to read Animal Farm. I learned this right after I picked up 1984, and I was just like, really? Because as much as reading is good and blah blah blah I wasn't expecting two books by George Orwell for me to read. I was hoping I could get further with 1984 over this weekend, but I don't see it happening.
I would write more, but I'm still incredibly tired from waking up early/not sleeping yesterday.
