Beginning with a dilemma about whether he spends more money on reading or smoking, George Orwell's entertaining and uncompromising essays go on to explore everything from the perils of second-hand bookshops to the dubious profession of being a critic, from freedom of the press to what patriotism really means.

Books v. cigarettes starts with Orwell putting the cost of reading against the cost of smoking. But it soon turns into a biography where G. O. revisits his childhood at St. Cyprians and various hospitals... Without saying too much, I can only state that Orwell still feels topical.
