In my second year in secondary school, our English teacher devoted so many lessons to (obviously non-syllabus) Masquerade. He was desperate to find it.
When the hare was found, he read a long newspaper report on it to us. I've never heard anyone read something out loud in such a heartbroken manner.

One of the most beautiful bits of english eccentricity and glorious design is coming back to Sotheby’s and should be bought by a musuem (or me) for THE NATION. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

You want to know the best bargain in all this land's supermarkets?
It's undeniably Lidl's apple strudel. Just £1.55 (regular price, not offer). And it tastes blinking lush.

Of the last twelve authors who have won the Booker Prize, only two (Marlon James and Douglas Stuart) have published another novel since their win. Obviously very recent winners skew the stat, but still a surprising figure to me.

Today is the anniversary of Kennedy's assassination.
Of course, if you ask me where I was when JFK was shot, I can genuinely answer that I was on the sixth floor of the Book Depository building in Dallas, Texas. 100 per cent true.

Just back in from seeing Game, the film my mates Geoff, Marc and Rob (and a few others) have made. The boys done good! Very proud of them.
On general release from this Friday, but still plenty of screenings with post-film Q&As. Go see!
