I've been experiencing many such difficult choices recently, seemingly in the thrall of equally strong but contrary instincts - in what books I read, what films and programmes I watch, what newspaper I take. And the difficult choices are not only to be had in what I consume - when I'm chatting with my new contemporaries, I am unsure whether I should be discussing Heidegger, just war theory or making fart jokes.
