By the way, Andrew Sullivan has a book club. Interesting titles, perhaps it will be worth it if a travel monger like myself attempts to keep up. The book at the top of the list as I post, 'Why Orwell Matters', is definitely going to make it to my wishlist.
There is an interesting review in the Voice Literary Supplement on it which includes a quote from the book itself:
"George Orwell requires extricating from a pile of saccharine tablets and moist hankies; an object of sickly veneration and sentimental overpraise, employed to stultify schoolchildren with his insufferable rightness and purity." - Christopher Hitchens
Ah.. Mr Hitchens, you give us all pleasure.
