Revolutionary Rants

Because Everything’s Political

A book tag

Erykah has tagged me again, this time with a book related meme. So, as I am sat up in bed, under my marriage saving brand new evil capitalist feudal leader with a crown sized devet I have plucked the first book from the shelf up behind the bed and…

“To participate, you grab any book, go to page 123, find the fifth sentence, and blog it. Then tag five people.” say said meme.

Hence:

‘That meant the workers were definitely beaten; I realised - though, owing to my political ignorance, not so clearly as I ought to have done - that when the Government felt more sure of itself there would be reprisals.’

Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell.

I shall tag Thursday, Viv, Kiki, Rhodri, and Stephen, once again. Oh, and Chaz can do his comments box thing, if he will!

Ah, light bedside reading, eh, Jess? Well I have just returned from hols in Liverpool, so you can choose from either:
‘Mauro’s sullen manner hadn’t changed.’ from Bloodfever by Charlie Higson or: ‘In the Tangerine sodomite sodality which was still mourning the loss of Joe (and Ken), at a party at Cap Spartel, Nigel met an actor whose name it would be too expensive to reveal.’ From Filthy English by Jonathan Meades.
This seems to real a perhaps surprising similarity in subject matter in too such different books, but then again?
Hmm, perhaps time for something completely different…

Sorry, I seem to have lost the ability to bold and italic.
