You don’t have to be a reader to be familiar with the themes or even quotes of great works of literature …or even rubbish ones. There can’t be many people who couldn’t conjour up ‘To be or not to be’, ‘Reader, I married him’, or ‘Four legs good, two legs better’ from the ether. We […]
Not a day, or a moment, really, goes by without the President of the United States of America saying something so batshit crazy that we all have to collectively sit down and do a breathing exercise.
