Guys, guys, I love Oxford, I really do. I love it because I get to walk past buildings with signs outside like this: “Henry Wellcome Ancient Biomolecules Centre ” and I love it because it’s the only place in the world I’ve ever heard people berating their children because they just ran past the Henry Moore statue. I really love Oxford. It’s a place that palpably holds story to me, a sort of mystical magical story and yet a story which is vividly everyday and matter of fact. HMV. Costa Coffee. Stone tablets from 20BC. All of them sort of just there, and fitting together somehow.
a) You are completely right about Oxford. I adore it too – a special place.
b) That “Little Women” cover is truly terrible! D:
That cover is, er, quite the thing, is it not!
