Yesterday I posted about an excellent book, Katherine Boo’s
It reminded me of another magnificent word, ‘pre-poning’. This is the opposite of postpone. Instead of putting something off until later, you bring it forward. It was used by the Indian telecoms regulator in announcing that the deadline for submitting bids for a spectrum auction was going to be far earlier than most potential bidders had previously thought.

Time to go and pre-pone my lunch….
Sounds like I need to pre-pone reading this book (after your recent tweets on the book I went on to Amazon, read reviews, and downloaded Kindle version of the book).
I hope you enjoy it – let me know!
