Another Orwell for me: Down and Out in Paris and London[1], which completely changed my view of the homeless.

This book was great. I read it at about 15 and never quite finished it. I stopped at page 163 where a homeless chalk artist was drawing something. I need to finish the 30 odd pages I have left, or perhaps start it over since it has been a few years, though, looking back, I remember quite a lot of it - a testament to it's memorability?
