A Fine Affair

Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

Giant atlas on show at British Library

Video depicting a giant atlas - which measures 6 feet by 9 feet! 32 copies in the world.

Unbelievable.

I wanted to start this post by saying that everybody’s done it, at least once or twice, but probably that’s not true. I know it’s a weakness. A vice even. You’re making a choice: essentially what you’re saying (or what I’m saying) is that sometimes you’re more interested in fiction than in reality and you don’t care who knows it. You’re saying, I’m willing to chuck most or probably all of my dignity, and some measure of my personal safety, and your personal safety, because it’s more important to me to keep reading this book I’m reading than it is to look where I’m going.
