In The Mayor Of Casterbridge the village folk put on something called a Skimmington Ride where with much drum beating and shouting an individual’s history is exaggerated and misrepresented in cartoon form to shame them out of life. Turns out Thomas Hardy predicted Twitter.

@anne_hegerty Ha. I love Jane Austen, Anne. Although Persuasion isn't my fave.

@NoisyMV @EvanJHarte1 @JulieMorganLAB The way to do what you’re saying is to include and name the other victims of course -as happens now in most Holocaust remembrance. But not insodoing to leave out the Jews or fold them into “all the rest”. Deborah Lipstadt’s long quote that I tweeted explains.

Katherine Rundell's book Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne is fantastic.

Listening to all Graham Greene’s books - one by one, not together, that would be strange - on audio. They’re all fantastic but The Ministry of Fear read by Oliver Chris particularly.
