25 Ramadhan, 1440
Just been marking an essay from May's IB examination session in which a candidate describes two novels as boringly interesting. Spent a minute or so trying to figure out the implications of this happy phrase. I reckon the poor kid had to put up with a teacher insisting that the books the kid felt had been specifically designed to torture him or her were interesting. That must have felt like the turn of the screw. But what an elegant revenge!
