Edinburgh Book Festival

This afternoon we went to the book festival to see/hear Simon Armitage - it was great. And the atmosphere at the book festival was good too - not too busy and not too intense. When I first went to the book fest about 3 years ago I found it overwhelmingly middle class and pretentious and felt a bit plebby. But I've sussed it now and like it a little. I like going to hear authors and poets talk but I'm not good with the hype or crowds.
