Fibbing for Figes
Gosh, the librarian at the school library today was a complete _______. Refused to let me borrow a Figes book which I am desperately, hopelessly in need of. IT'S URGENT, Ms 'You already have two books on Revolutions out, I can't let you borrow any more."
Well in the end I managed to worm my way into an 'overnight, return before school' starts loan.
All the fibbing in the world for Figes?! Is it worth it? The strange bespectacled earnest British revisionist historian with the funny voice and white pasty skin?
Turns out that I don't know, because although I have less than 12 hours to use it, I haven't started. Maybe I should have gone with a Richard Pipes book instead.
