New Year's resolution
While many others are reading the life of Peter Kay (and the role of Garlic bread in society), my new year's reading has been a biography of Martin Luther of Wittenberg.
In his pursuit of putting right those things he found to be dreadfully corrupt, Professor Luther was articulate, reasoned, mean and vicious.
I find much in his style to be attractive. I don't think we will solve the problems of our libraries by being as dainty and polite as we have been. The whole process has already taken far too long and cost me too dearly.. we need to be more forthright.
Incidentally, by nailing his 95 theses to the door of the local church, I think he can claim to be an early master of the blog. He certainly wrote endlessly, every day.
