Hitchens contra mundum.

I bought The Monarchy: A Critique of Britain's Favourite Fetish on kindle yesterday. It whiled away an agreeable hour or so.

With the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee upon us, during a time of recession, high unemployment and national debt, Hitchens’ 10,000-word critique is even more relevant today than when it was first published in 1990. Part of the Brain Shots series, the pre-eminent source for high quality, short-form digital non-fiction.

Vintage Brainshots (http://www.vintage-books.co.uk/books/Brainshots/) fills a hole I didn't know existed.
