In January of 2015 the DC Public Library held an event titled Orwellian America<\/a>. Included a reading of 1984 in its entirety and streamed across YouTube. Those videos are no longer available.<\/p>\n

I was reminded of this event today when I saw a similar event today.<\/p>\n

\n The Orwell Foundation and UCL Festival of Culture are delighted to announce a live, start-to-finish reading of Nineteen Eighty-Four in Senate House, University of London. For the first time in the UK, hear Nineteen Eighty-Four read by a host of actors, writers, journalists and members of the public over the course of a single day in the centre of London. This unique event, part of the UCL Festival of Culture 2017, is free and open to the public.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Unlike the DC event, London’s event is available in its 11 hour entirety. (I’ve skipped the first 11 minutes, 15 seconds as they are silent.) I’ve read this book many times and look forward to listening to it again.
