The sick-makingly-named Love Libraries campaign hit the papers today with endorsements from 150 writers, in the broadest sense of the word. The press seized on J K Rowling's statement, there are some I've never heard of, though that may be my ignorance and one wonders about the inclusion of some of the others: Jeffery Archer, for example? If we're concerned with branding I'm not sure Thatcherite ex-cons are quite the people we should be associating with. I wonder if they could not have given the list a bit more intellectual weight. But this is perhaps carping....if it makes the government rethink, it must be a good thing.
