What The Dickens

"Mills, Muck and Methodists. 200 Years of the Methodist Church in Lune Street, Preston" by Maureen Abson is both interesting and an easy read. I am already halfway through the book. The mill owners were absolutely awful, and Preston was so bad that Dickens used it as a model for "Coketown" in "Hard Times", and after the various shootings in the name of the businessmen, Karl Marx reported on the Prestonians in a positive light

I am still reading "Imajica" by Clive Barker on my Kindle. This is a book I never want to end. When I finish it, I just restart it

The music is "The Words That Maketh Murder" by Polly Jean Harvey
