[on the GWR. It's very good.
Never read any George Orwell, probably because all I ever hear people go on about is animal farm and if people go on and on about a book I rarely bother with the book or author.[/quote]
What--never read Orwell !! (well ,I only did last year)
Animal Farm -- a no no for me.
Many people talk of 'Big brother ' - from '1984' - who have never read it --the expression has become part of our language---
I believe everyone who is at all interested in todays politics should read it and they will see where this country is heading . Fortunately Tony won't be here too much longer.
Let us hope that he doesn't ban us all (with yet another law) from reading this book before he goes so we that may take it as a warning.
You are right too- when people go on and on about a book it puts me off.
I never knowingly.read the Richard and Judy recommendations
Or the bookshop 'top 10'. Did you know that the book companies pay thousands of pounds - weekly- for WH Smith and all of the other big bookshop chains to put them on this list.
