List? OK, I'll give him a listen. Any particular peace? 
War is pieces. 

Did you know that you can get a piece (of ass) for around $34 ion the
Bronx but a Piece (a gun) costs $139.99. Make peace not Thackeray  (pun
on the Brit. author and tackery: ethical and social pretensions of
largely amoral Americans. American Heritage Dick.) 

Please choose from the following: 

Compare O' Brian to Karamazov's Grand Inquisitor


Where is there a "free space" in the lives of lovers at war? 
Be sure to Compare and contrast Roger & Jessica with Winston and Julia

Compare the slide into sloth and sleaziness of the proles with the
christmas drunkenness of the slaves in Frederick Douglass' narrative. 

If Roger is in love, but Jessica is not in love, if Winston and Julia
are not in love, why do they need a place in the woods where they can
make love? Love is freedom?
