Excellent reading. He's not a fan. Calls it suffocating, frightened and backward looking. After reading that I kind of felt the same way about your first comment, sorry.<BR/><BR/>I can't help it, I'm a modernist. Always have been, always will. I just don't really like the past that much (unless it's reading about it's failures and looking forward to a glorious future!)Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15793050007954678178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27813826.post-1156166076636471212006-08-21T13:14:00.000+00:002006-08-21T13:14:00.000+00:00Thanks Simon.

Nice to see we have some romantics reading the blog as opposed to the bitter, cynical, ascetic snobs writing it (well one snob, me).<BR/><BR/>Blimey, you'd think someone who owns a bookshop wouldn't be quite so uptight about books.<BR/><BR/>Your comment brings to mind Walter Benjamin and 'aura'. Look out for a future post on the subject.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15793050007954678178noreply@blogger.com
