| This really is the definitive account on child sexual abuse and sex trafficking. Virginia’s father said he never abused his daughter, but that is where abuse nearly always begins… in the family. She went on to be abused by Epstein, Maxwell, Prince An ...more | |

| I first read Jude the Obscure back in my early 20s and that’s 50 years ago. I now have a rather more misanthropic and curmudgeonly view on life, based on personal experience and world events. I can really relate to Jude’s position in life, like my ow ...more | |

"Another excellent work by Thomas Hardy, Jude's is a tale of thwarted ambition. He aspires to the intellectual pursuits of nearby Christminster but is never welcomed into their sacred halls of learning. The closest he can come is by being a manual lab"

| Sarah Wynn-Williams, an ex-diplomat was one of the people advising Facebook’s top leaders, and dealing with governments around the world. And this book is a brilliant expose of the politics, set-up and raison d’être of that organisation. She was atta ...more | |

| A great polemic on the trials and tribulations of the British Empire. I found Empireland and Empireworld most interesting and informative, well written, erudite, and full of many facts and figures I was unaware of. Although I broadly agree with the c ...more | |

“I don’t understand why we must do things in this world, why we must have friends and aspirations, hopes and dreams. Wouldn’t it be better to retreat to a faraway corner of the world, where all its noise and complications would be heard no more? Then we could renounce culture and ambitions; we would lose everything and gain nothing; for what is there to be gained from this world?”

“When every man has realized that his birth is a defeat, existence, endurable at last, will seem like the day after a surrender, like the relief and the repose of the conquered.”

“As far as I am concerned, I resign from humanity. I no longer want to be, nor can still be, a man. What should I do? Work for a social and political system, make a girl miserable? Hunt for weaknesses in philosophical systems, fight for moral and esthetic ideals? It’s all too little. I renounce my humanity even though I may find myself alone. But am I not already alone in this world from which I no longer expect anything?”

“I have always hesitated to give advice, for how can one advise another how to act unless one knows that other as well as one knows himself? Heaven knows. I know little enough of myself: I know nothing of others. We can only guess at the thoughts and emotions of our neighbours. Each one of us is a prisoner in a solitary tower and he communicates with the other prisoners, who form mankind, by conventional signs that have not quite the same meaning for them as for himself.”
