I dont know 

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING U!!!!!!Damn,I like that book........1984........

hey i brought the book

Try not to necropost lol.

I loved the ending.

Read 1984 in 6th grade. I “learned” some interesting things, but it was going to happen sooner or later. It’s target audience clearly wasn’t kids, and same for queens gambit. Complaining about the content is like buying a book when you’re blind and being mad because you can’t read it.

That question came up regularly during the last decades, most prominently in 1984.

1984 arrived 37 years late.  Witness how Twitter is now censoring the American Medical Association’s warning about vaccination side effects.

Uneducated opinions by politicians and the legacy media have more influence than science.

Saying  “men can’t get pregnant” can get you fired from your job.
“High prices due to inflation are good for you”.  

“You will own nothing, and be happy”.

And of course, “no jab, no job”:

I read The Queen's Gambit around 13 or 14 years old.  I think I unconsciously skimmed over the sexual parts at that point, including the part I think you're referring to.  For the more, eh, consensually romantic and sexual parts, I'm pretty sure I was thinking "I don't care, get back to the chess already!"

Then, decades later, after watching the series, found my copy again and thought "Wait, I read this at that age?"

Then again, I also thought, when I read The Hunger Games series, published after I was already an adult, "Wow, young adult fiction has gotten dark since I was a young adult."  In reality, Animorphs, a series I loved when I was growing up, was at least as dark (teenagers more or less drafted into a guerilla war against infiltration by alien parasites who take over the minds of their hosts, forcing them to watch helplessly as the parasites use their bodies to manipulate their own friends and family into the same horrible fate...that's the first book and it doesn't exactly get nicer from there).

You'll be fine -- lots of us read books that were "too mature" or "too dark" for our age at the time, and most of us turned out fine, and if we didn't, it wasn't the books' fault.

Hope you liked 1984 (which you've probably read by this point).  I raced through 1984 in a day when I was 12 -- it was that compelling to me.

You must have read a different "Queen's Gambit" than I. 

For the record, I thought the book was poorly written and gratuitously sexual though nothing in it even approaches what you suggest. 

Planning on reading Fahrenheit 451 soon. About burning books I assume.

nice!

Bad wording, more like unconscious sexual acts preformed by a child to another slightly older child.  

I made this forum on a whim without realizing the slight absurdness of doing so. If you boil it down though I was just stating an inappropriate age to read the book.   

I never read the Queen's Gambit, but I liked 2 of Walter Tevis's other books, The Hustler and The Color of Money. neither are for children, though.

Personally, I'm interested in the fact that OP is in Vatican City. I must have played him before as that flag is in my passport section.

Yes it is exactly that, and also the methods used by the authorities to coerce compliance. 

It was written by George Orwell in 1948, as a warning against allowing dictatorial authorities to control out lives.   It describes a grim world, rather like the world we are living in right now where politicians dictate the minutiae of our lives, and command us to do things that, just a few years ago, would have been unthinkable in what we then thought were liberal democracies (e.g the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, ...) .

Other books on the same topic  that are worth reading are Orwell's "Animal Farm" and "The Plague" by Camus

Yes. Thank you for saying this. It's so utterly bonkers and absolute in insanity.

You seem like a smart thought criminal (1984 reference, nailed it). Have you heard of the great reset and the world economic forum and Bill Gates' "ID2020" (which showed a commercial at the end of 2020 that's very revealing) and the Dark Winter military excersize, and the new smallpox vaccine made in 2019, and the 5g rollout thats supposed to be happening this month, and ALSO, Elon Musk's Neuralink brain implant that's supposed to be implanted in the first human brain in less than a year according to him, and ALLLSSSOOO facebooks "Metaverse" that is endorsed and referenced by not only the world economic forum, but also the Vatican, .. and FINALLY, last but not least, have you read revelation chapter 13 in a bible? Because ties all our world events up very nicely and puts it all into perspective and makes it clear how all of this is connected.

Probably gonna get find my post scrubbed, probably yours too, so feel free to personally message me
