Today I had a mad idea: do an online short story magazine.
This isn’t as mad as it sounds I hope. I am a reluctant reader of short stories but I have 75-odd collections floating about the place, which is probably more than average. But when I do find a story I like I fall in [...]

Idea: Next Read Short Story Magazine
Book-o-sphere Round–up: 14 February Edition
Is it Sunday again? It must be. I’m listening to audio book of The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle read by the amazing Derek Jacobi. I can’t get enough of him reading Holmes. Truly brilliant. So with a cup of tea in hand here we go.

But I’ve been thinking about books in general, [...]
Award: Man Booker Prize 2009 Shortlist
Every year for the last of couple of years I’m been sorely tempted to take a Man Booker challenge and read the shortlist. And every year I someone can’t either fit it in or gather the energy needed tackle six weighty books over such short period. And this year you’ll be surprised to hear is [...]
Summer Reads 2009
My To Be Read pile count match the leaning Tower of Pizza – though I think mine wobbles more. To bring it to some sort of order as well as to bring some focus here are my choices for Summer Reads 2009.
