Elsewhere (Shiny New Books)

It's the launch of Shiny New Books today - I've only had a quick browse so far but it's looking good, there are a few books on there that I've been mulling over - the second opinions are all pushing me towards purchases, and I'm looking forward to exploring more over the next few days.

I've made my own small contribution in the form of a review of Andrew Taylor's 'Books That Changed The World'. It's one of those books that looks like a fun read for booklovers but, in my case at any rate, turned out to be much more. It's the sort of book that re-acquaints you with things already on your shelf (often unread) and generally gives you plenty to think about - but you can read all about it here.

  4. It instantly sets your back up doesn't it. I can be heard angrily muttering in bookshops why Must I, I don't have to and you can't make me. Which makes me sound a bit weird.
