But it's freaking rotten when it comes to books.Eric Cramptonhttp://offsettingbehaviour.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830084253401570472.post-79719080607138221862013-05-29T19:30:24.188+12:002013-05-29T19:30:24.188+12:0016.16.Eric Cramptonhttp://offsettingbehaviour.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830084253401570472.post-60509955353272308302013-05-29T18:51:45.225+12:002013-05-29T18:51:45.225+12:00Let's not forget such classics as "Why Wa...Let's not forget such classics as "Why Was He Born So Beautiful and Other Rugby Songs". There are also quite a few old pulp paperbacks on the list which wouldn't even raise an eyebrow today, such as the respected science fiction writer Barry Malzberg's "Screen".Maxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830084253401570472.post-22687421554655947052013-05-29T18:51:41.847+12:002013-05-29T18:51:41.847+12:00In the context of Section 132B(2), what does "...In the context of Section 132B(2), what does "young person" mean?LemmusLemmusnoreply@blogger.com
