I’d like to get in the habit of doing the blog-all-dog-eared-pages thing, but I really really hate dog-earing pages. I’m not absurdly fussy about the state of my books – they are working objects after all – but I don’t like folding the corners of the pages. So I thought I’d note this one down while it was fresh in my head.

“The craftiest storytellers can tell you a tale without you realising it’s being told. They are called advertisers [..] They can tell a story with a phrase, a picture, and sometimes with a single pencil line. Without them transnationals would become extinct because in order to sell, they have to tell stories. They have to tell them to survive”
