1984

 I loved 1984 by George Orwell, so read it again. Did not find it all that great second time around. 

Quotes: 

It was after the catastrophe, when they shot the president and machine-gunned the Congress and the army declared a state of emergency. They blamed it on the Islamic fanatics, at the time.

Keep calm, they said on television, everything is under control.

...It was hard to believe. The enire government, gone like that. How did they get in, how did it happen?

That was when they suspended the Consitution. They said it was only temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. 

They've been building up to this.

Newspapers were censored and some were closed down, for security reasons they said.

domestic products the Aunts*

*Aunts, I did not find any aunt's named after domestic products, like Dawn or Joy. A Goodreads person suggested they meant like, Aunt Jemima, Sara (Lee) Estee (Lauder,) Lorna (Dunne) and so on.
