  Bern its not about understanding it about being utterly dull and boring.
  
  I have a very wide taste in reading. I am just about to re-read Robert (Lord) Blake's The Conservative Party from Peel to Major, (the latest updated version, I read 'to Thatcher' a lot of years ago now). I am tempted, given our present economic woes, to re-read Friedman's Free to Choose as well, perhaps before I get into Blake. Right now though I am reading a first class archeological thriller by a new author who's name escapes me right now.
  
  Believe it or not, I have even read Marx, followed immediately by a contrast, Hayek's great work The Road to Serfdom, these were instrumental in forming my right wing political views while a teenager. I was able to understand the contradictions and implausability in Marx and the logic and sense of the free markets espoused by Hayek.
  
  So please dont try to talk to me about my not understanding such dull piffle as Rushdie. When I read a novel I like a bit of action, some excitement and something that sparks my imagination.
