So I've been teaching a themed intro to literature course on romance novels, and I want to set up a lending library in my office because my institution's romance holdings are terrible.
I'm hitting a used book store today to stock up. What is the one book I MUST add to my list?

The central delusion of Thatcherism is the idea politicians can destroy the postwar settlement and replace it with nothing, which in practice turns out to always be panicking governments shoring up the systems they vandalised fuck out of, using sticky tape and wood glue.

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…
