It's that simple — and that hard. And that inescapable.

Penguin don’t get it

I am pretty disappointed now.

Penguin came back today at the critics. This at least is a good show. But instead of taking on board the criticism they are resisting.

It seems a little foolish. The idea is clearly excellent but the execution is terrible and that is the origin of most complaints. It is not that anyone doubts the concept merely the cost the exclusivity and the limitations of the idea.

I am sure this program will however be a success because it is limited. I was just hoping for more!

Still sick, still frustrated

Tom Holland

If, like me, you love good history, then Holland provides quality narrative history of a type rarely seen. Well worth reading all his work. Here

LibraryThing

Book geek social network. Search for books and jump to their descriptions or buy them, join one of the many conversations on the forum or simply catalogue, tag and share your library of books.

Patrick Rothfuss

If you like epic fantasy with realism mixed well with magic, then The Name of the Wind is for you.
