Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

William Diehl, 'Hooligans' & 'Sharky's Machine' omnibus. I'm halfway through Hooligans so far, great crime thriller.
Been reading various Raymond Chandler books lately, very enjoyable. Just got my first Hemingway novel, 'The Old Man and The Sea', never read him before so I thought I'd find out why he's so renowned.

Just finished 'A Murder of Quality' by John LeCarre. A little old fashioned, but not stuffy as it moved along well enough, very English though.
Now started reading 'Tough Guys Don't Dance' by Norman Mailer. Not far enough into it to form a real opinion, but the style is interesting.

I've been reading Raymond Chandler novels recently and I'm halfway through 'The Long Goodbye' currently. Classy and very enjoyable writing!

I'm halfway through reading (again) 'Something Rotten' by Jasper Fforde, fourth book in the Thursday Next series. These stories are great fun! Fforde's imagination takes some beating. The first in series is The Ayre Affair.
