Hard to believe that it's over a month ago since I posted anything. How is it that time slips through one's fingers so easily?
I was visiting someone recently and noticed a book on the bookshelf in the bedroom I was using that I had lent him some twenty odd years ago. It was a delight to pick it up again and revisit it like an old friend.
Rushing to Paradise by J.G.Ballard
I'd forgotten how good this dystopian novel was.
It has returned home with me.
It has meant that I have been dipping again into his work and I reckon I'll have another look at Crash next.
While I was flicking through notes I'd made on some of his other books over the years I found this which made me smile.
'The knew they were being lied to, but if lies were consistent enough they defined themselves as a credible alternative to the truth.'
J.G.Ballard from Kingdom Come p. 204.
