Was listening to an article on Radio Bore about him the other day - in a rather delicious irony, he was an absolute posh boy with a desperate fear of the prolitariat.

Still - 1984 is fantastic. Combine it with Huxley's Brave New Woild and you've got pretty well exactly where modern Western capitalism is today.

Sorry - I'll shut up now.

# I'm currently on a Bill Bryson hit.
Notes from a small island had me lidderally lolling on the tube on my commute.

I'm currently on A Short History Of Nearly Everything and Neither Here Nor There, the latter of which is having a very similar effect.

# Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, at the moment
It's probably the longest I've taken to read a book, as even with zombies and ninjas, Austin is a tedious author. Reads like a script "Such and such said this, so and so replied with that, such and such retorted with this, and much laughter ensued" ad infinitum.

Engaging - but not so lolly as the others.

But bloody hell BB's brain must be the fullest in all of Christendom.
