About 50 pages into this jazzy fucker at the minute. Hoping to get a lot of reading done over the next few days and excited to get into this properly. So far it's just classic Vonnegut, it's making me want to re-read Slaughterhouse 5 which I absolutely loved when I first read it years ago.

Was anyone planning on going to Vegan Campout in Newark this year? It's come out that the organisers have told Hunt Saboteur groups they're not welcome anymore due to pressure from the people who own the land who seem to be connected to the Countryside Alliance. I personally wouldn't attend as a result, it seems really odd that an event that's supposed to encourage ethical practices and promote the importance of animal rights would take a platform away from animal rights activists to keep people who take pleasure from harming animals happy.

What even is half of that stuff? Is that white thing a projector?

Does anyone have suggestions for places to eat in Brussels? I've got a long drive from Leipzig tomorrow so thinking I might treat myself to a decent dinner instead of cold pasta and salad again.

I read it just after Tropic Of Cancer by Henry Miller. It was interesting to see 2 different takes on a similar subject matter (being broke in Paris at the beginning of the 20th Century), published around the same time. Orwell's account seemed very stuffy and uptight compared to Miller's.

I've not read that yet! Opted for Burmese Days instead for this trip. Will pick up a copy. I think my favourite of the Orwell I've read is Homage To Catalonia. I need to re-read 1984 at some point.

Sorry for crappy NDS photo. Spotted in Leipzig, looks fun.

Just finished reading Burmese Days by George Orwell. I really wasn't in to it.
Yeah I enjoyed that when I read it too!
