So...

...you vote for the UK Independence Party whose main goal is to get the UK out of the European Union. A bunch of their candidates get elected for the European Parliament (I guess they want to work against it from the inside). Four years later they are running again and the UK is still part of the EU. Why would you vote for them again (nevermind that one of their MEP's has been jailed for fraud and another one is under investigation)?

*************

...you are an editor at faber & faber and you have a lot of really great reviews and endorsements by significant publications and authors (like the TLS and Pritchett) on this volume of Flannery O'Connor's Short Stories. Do you REALLY want to print an endorsement by Dean Koontz on a prominent position in the cover? Because if you did this when you were sober and in full control of your mental capacities, I'll probably avoid editions of your books in the future. Please don't sell out like that again.

Can't wait to read what Danielle Steel has to say about the new Ishiguro. Not.

Guess they want to show how un-elitist they're becoming. I've never read Koontz, though, have you? Have only heard his father tried to kill him once or twice. Nice to see you back (I'm a periodic visitor). Thought you might have abandoned your blog, it's been so long.
