i studing english lit at university years ago which sort of put me off fiction-or perhaps I changed anyway. now i read mostly non fiction and tend to spend a year or two reading about one subject, from 98-2001 it was WWII, then it was Islam, particularly sufism. Now it is social policy as i am starting an MA in Social Policy in the autumn. The last work of ficition i read was Platform which was pretty good but oddly had no lasting effect on me.
is absinthe legal in the US. it is over here
