Books for Burning: Between civil war and democracy in 1970s Italy - Antonio Negri.

Complex, Marxist-theory rammed collection of polemical pamphlets from Europe's leading political philosopher.

Can't wait for: Commonwealth (coming out in Oct. 2009)Michael Hardt, Toni Negri


www.hup.harvard.edu - Harvard University Press: Commonwealth by Michael Hardt

Dorothy Dunnett's 'House of Niccolo' series - really recommend her if you like historical fiction and don't mind having to work at it. Sadly out of print here but you can get lovely US paperbacks from Amazon.com.


Start with The Lymond Chronicles, though - here's why: reasons to read Dorothy Dunnett

I'm reading 'Guilty Pleasures' by Tasmina Perry, which is fab. It has lots of conspiracies, shopping, brilliant young entrepreneurs making unlikely profits off the back of thin ideas, glamorous locations, sex, family feuds, attempted murder, true love, and more sex and shopping.


What do you mean, I'm the only person in ED that reads trash? How dare you.

Was this any good MP? Patricia Cornwell lost me some time ago, I liked the first three or four Scarpetta novels, but got irritated by the inane dialogue in the later ones. And as for that sodding niece of hers...

    • Absolutely agree , the pool is in a disgusting state at the moment. I’ve also noticed how dirty it’s been lately, especially around the edges and in the changing rooms. It’s honestly at the point where it feels unhygienic, and I wouldn’t be surprised if people got sick from swimming in it. You’ve done the right thing by reporting it  hopefully if more of us raise concerns , they’ll take it seriously. Happy to add my voice to any formal complaint or petition if that helps. Thanks for speaking up — you’re definitely not alone!  
    • Let's see if we can get a key so the notice board can actually be updated by someone who cares and has time (thank you Jellybeanz, if you want to do that, and if Sue can get a key), or we can have a group of key holders and content managers. It's not hard is it. There's not really any point having one if it doesn't have information
    • I  got a take away yesterday evening.  I stupidly ordered a side as well as  a bowl.  I have a hefty appetite but I had leftovers for breakfast and still some for lunch-and delicious.
    • I find that very confusing to read, because you have not separated what I said in my previous post from your reply in a way that makes it easy to see who said what. It also makes it very hard to respond to what you have said without confusing things even further! Is there any reason why you didn't just use the quote option as usual?
