Not very spoilery )

Yesterday I went to Borders and took advantage of their £5 of £20 offer. I had one transaction for work, with the Ethics collection of Foucault's interviews and short pieces, and Female Chauvinist Pigs. Then for me I bought Hard Work by Polly Toynbee (the account of her time living in a council estate on the minimum wage), Alan Hollinghurts's The Spell and a children's book, Exchange by Paul Magrs, which is apparently about a "great big book exchange". I also bought two magazines. I got Red Pepper, which I am really liking and considering subscriing to. The other magazine was an issue of something called what is enlightenment? which I got for work because it was a special thing called "Woman: A cultural Philosophical and Spirital Exploration" and has bits about contemporary feminism. It's a bit batshit. There is a rather strange rehashing of the whole girls gone wild phenomenon and lots of very odd articles.

I booked myself a ticket for the RSC's Taming of the Shrew in May. I was only checking to see what the prices were like and suddenly there I was, entering my credit card details.
