CUK Book Club: Currently reading...

[Charles Foster Kane]

Public Libraries are an excellent feature of British life - I often visit after a day on the collective farm, at closing times the cheerful Librarians can be heard singing that inspiring ditty Forward United Kingdom - collective responsibilites we enjoy.

I love the library. We have our own Rain Man - if people stay on the PC's longer than 30 minutes he can be seen freaking out on them...

...He is the autistic law (of the library).

The credit crunch (read: my being a tight wod) has induced my first visit to a public library since leaving school; I feel guilty spending £15 on a book I shall read only once when the local library has one available!!

I have been assured that I am seldom 'fashionable'

There is only one thing worse that not being fashionable - and that is - being fashionable.

Well the big fashion trend now is Nationalisation - so the collective spirit means we should reject such bourgeoise concepts as private bookstores and spend our time in the public reading libraries instead.

For books that I really like though I always want my own copy, either for re-reading, referring back to etc. A wood-pannelled library with wall to wall books, leather loungers, a snooker table and some good quality port are what is required...one day.

The Book of Five Rings - Miyamoto Musashi

Beyond Fear - Bruce Schneier
Tao Te Ching - Lao Tzu

Now thats a good read.

Mind you - the Tao that can be described - is not the true Tao.

So it goes.

Soemtimes I visit a bookshop and if I like the book will note the author and ISBN - take that to my local library and order it there for gratis - been doing this for quite some time.
