Loved Fahrenheit
451, although some of the ideas went over my head a bit. But the whole idea of
a future world where books are dangerous and subversive, and how this affects
society was brilliantly imagined. Sadly, like so many dystopian visions, it
seems apposite at the moment, in our era of celebrating ignorance and 'having
had enough of experts'. Maxwell's book has been on my wishlist for over 12
years, since we went to the wonderful city of Marrakech. I'd love to go back,
but our budget is now so tight it's just impossible. With 3 kids, we struggle
to afford a caravan for a week in august - £1200! £1200!. I read 'Jerusalem' in
one sitting, having given up on the chance of ever seeing Mark Rylance play
