Holiday reading

Well, 2 hours to kill on a flight next week plus a few days off - public holidays only.

The book is my son's, in fact. He has been active in politics since he was 17 and campaigned for one of the local councillors in her re-election battle. A success too.

The background is festive, in a way. A kilim from Fes (Morocco) picked up when I was there for Christmas 09.
