And from the Independent, here is a reading comprehension test for all you high schoolers:"Michael Palin is a kindly and intelligent soul, but one thing I doubt he would ever claim to be is a pillar of English literature. A few years ago, at the behest of a television company, he travelled from North Pole to South Pole, and produced a spin-off book, with pictures. I'm sure it was very entertaining; now, however, it is being asked to provide an introduction to English literature as a set book for thousands of GCSE students. I wonder whether a telly spin-off can really be expected to do that job."
