Yea, I read Animal Farm and it was very good. After reading Homage to Catalonia, you get a feeling for how disillusioned Orwell became and why. The Anarcho-socialists in Spain had a large chunk of the country set up and running according to their vision, and the army itself was without any real rank. As things went on, though, it got contorted into what they had, essentially, before the war, with all the old barriers and divisions coming back by people who hijacked the movement. To be clear, I would have sided with Franco, and I think socialism is pretty hopeless, but its tragic reading how they lost their dream of a socialist Spain.
