things to read made of trees

Apr 03, 2003, 14:48

I've just finished 'Hard Times' by Dickens. For those wot haven't read it, it's a view of the 1850s and the industrial revolution, and people being ground down in their jobs by the evil mill-owning capitalist bastards - who think any of the hands that complain just want to be fed on turtle soup and venison with a gold spoon (instead of just wanting a reasonable existence). Also that education should be that children have imperial gallons of facts poured into them until they are full. It's actually quite an amusing book! Ah, Dickens, he would have had some useful input to U-know I'm sure.

Anyway, I was just wondering whether anyone else would like to recommend any U-knowish authors or titles. My other obvious favourite is George Orwell and his 'road to wigan pier'. Feel free to disagree.
