If you are looking for a good book to read, you could do worse than to pick up a copy of Kestrel for a Knave, by Barry Hines - who died today. RIP Barry.

Kes was excellent. I enjoyed the film too.

According to Aldous Huxley, D.H. Lawrence once said that Balzac was 'a gigantic dwarf', and in a sense the same is true of Dickens.
Charles Dickens, by George Orwell
Yes. We had a games teacher like Brian Glover who didn't like losing. Very odd that he though beating 12 year olds important.
