World Book Night

Handing out free copies of The Road by Cormac McCarthy at Bedford College Library as part of World Book Night, a project which encourages infrequent readers to read.
Update - this was harder than expected. 'No thanks I'm alright' seems to be Teen code for 'Back off old book peddling woman' . I now have more sympathy for Jehovah's Witnesses, still all the books went to good homes eventually.

Four star review from the Guardian for Musicircus - what a hoot although singing for four hours with only random breaks generated by the throw of a di was pretty exhausting. Ed Gardner's ability to conduct a musicless score with no preparation was impressive and who was the spooky fawn in the spotted tights?
