I was reading it.......until I lost my copy. I got up to where Winston reads the Book, and is learning about Goldstein's theories about war, and the resources of all the states (Oceania is the only one I remember.) It was about 3 years ago, I was 13 or 14 at the time, so my memory is very hazy.

I lost my copy after that. I really should start reading it again.......
I didn't get far enough to have an intelligent conversation with you guys.......
So Goldstein is a ghost entity, a figurehead for the anti-party movement, as well as a scapegoat?

He's modelled after Leon Trostky? The same guy who had an affair with Frida Kahlo? That's all I really know about him, because I was doing a report on Frida Kahlo for my art porfolio.........I would have thought we would study him in socioligy.......anyway, I am rambling again, so I'll go.
