1984, I read it when I was 15/16
changed the way I thought about the world. Then read a bunch more Orwell. Later found myself living below minimum wage in Paris and, later, London. Next, aerodynamic Aspidistras

I don't even know what this book is about, it was in the advanced classes at school and so I didn't feel smart enough to read it

1984? seriously?
just read it now. I don't think it was in our school curriculum, I was just the kind of kid who read this stuff for fun

srsly
I haven't been reading much lately, I dunno why.

I should be reading more
I like reading, got the Oxford book of science fiction when I was in London for the Bash after being super excited by an exhibition in the British Library.

Summer should be for reading all the books I don't get round to the rest of the year

A Clergyman's Daughter
Do you think Mr Warburton shagged Dorothy?

No.
I reckon he just fingered her.

Something pushed her over the edge
Mr Warburton has a lot of explaining to do.

Let's face it, she's as frigid as a fridge in the Artic circle.
It wouldn't have needed a big push to get her there.

So you're saying it was acceptable for Mr Warburton
To get her tipsy on sherry then slip her a length? Just because she was a bit overpious.

Just having a look through the days dross to see what you underemployed folk have been getting up to today, but can't be bothered looking too hard.

No it wasn't acceptable but lets face it, it probably did her a world of good and it all turned out right in the end.
I hope she hasn't. I think she's just busy.
