This was a very good book to read. It lists what it considers to be the 10 easiest mistakes for people to make in there thinking and gives very good every day examples of people making the mistakes. It then goes on to list the basic techniques for overcoming these problems. I got the book…

I was a bit disappointed to discover this book was a News Of The World publication. I suppose I should have guessed as it was bound to be a bit sensationalist. Or so I thought. Once I had actually read it I thought it was a fairly good insight into what it must be like…

As you would expect from John Wyndham another excellent story that seems quite well thought out. Since the novel is quite short (too short really) the brief summary on the back gives almost all the plot away so don’t read it. Just sit back and read the novel as it unfolds. In case like me…

3 out 5 – An Interesting but flawed book. Well this is a hard book to review. I got it because I saw a program about Greer and it’s imminent release. Since I have been chatting with a feminist friend I thought I would see what I guessed was a feminist "leader" had to say….

This was a good basic guide to transexualily and the things a transexual might face. It is written by a Medic so it did not really give me the understanding I was looking for as a brother of a transexual. I have just read Read My Lips By Riki Anne Wilchins (also reviewed) and that…

This one took me to two attempts two read as my mental abilities were reduced by ill health and this at times can be a rather long winded book. The book is actually broken into 11 books and I gave up after the first book last time. This time I was determined to get to…

This is a book of Artwork by Rodney Matthews. I bought it because of my interest in the Pictures he painted for Praying Mantis but this is a very nice book and was a great pleasure to look at and read. It contains a round up of nearly all the record covers Matthews has ever…

What utter rubbish. Why is this book so popular? It is nonsense after nonsense if this entertains children it shows how out of touch I am with them. A complete waste of reading time. Thank goodness it is short. I had started reading it to Zoe and Abbie but they seemed bored by the idea….

This is a book I have heard as a Talking Classic and seen in an old B&W film. It struck me as being very much written in the style of a play with lots and lots of dialogue. I was interested to see that when Wilde described the scene at the beginning in the Artists…
