I also remember disagreeing with some of his findings/techniques, so it will be interesting to see what’s said in this book.

What Should I Read Next?

I really like this site ‘What Should I Read Next’, after entering the title of the book you have previously enjoyed it analyses a database of ‘real readers’ and gives you suggestions of future texts to read.

With links to Amazon US and UK too

The wait was finally over this morning as thousands of Harry Potter fans got their hands on copies of the seventh and final book.

Thousands of people queued at book shops and supermarkets around the country, waiting for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to go on sale at midnight.

I have no desire to read Harry Potter but I can’t help to think its an elite club I’m missing out on ( is it me? ). To be honest the books must be good if there is this amount of anticipation in waiting for a new one.

Give it 20 years when it won’t be cool anymore and I’ll give it a shot.

P.S that is the last time I’ll mention Harry Potter

“Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

– George Orwell, Animal Farm

It is now on the pile titled “WILL READ IN LIFETIME”

Although its one of the most beautiful books he has ever seen
