Much as the rocks on the bottom of Spartan cliffs shaped their people.

You can buy love, but not a TV.

Then buy stolen things.

Five used books from a charity shop.
A used cd.
Five beers at a bar.
A pizza.
Six pies.
A weekly train ticket and a newspaper.
Twenty-five minutes of airtime.

Eh? When last were you in a bar?

Most recently:
Foucault's Pendulum (Umberto Eco)
The Man Who Corrupted Hadleyburg (Mark Twain)
The Gift of Stones (Jim Crace)
Baudelaire (Enid Starkie)
The Viceroy of Ouida (Bruce Chatwin)

I go in about once a week. No idea what I'm going to do with them all. Maybe open a rival charity shop.

Me too. It's surprisingly entertaining. I wonder if I'll finish it.

OK, I'll be Sandra Bullock.

Is that a good choice?

(I have this mental image now of dusty flapping as the books come home to roost. Did you ever read Gormenghast? The scene in the library, when Groan, in his madness, emulates an owl?)
