Book reviews on all kinds of books - knitting books, novels, fact and fiction.
A devastating analysis of the food business' says Sunday Telegraph of this book. I have to agree. Not on the Label by Felicity Lawrence shows how our food is made, and what's wrong with it.
Library Confidential is a hilarious book! The author Don Borchert's ten years experience as assistant librarian makes you think of the library in a quite different way that you may have used to!
The Magic Toyshop by Angela Carter was an experience. Not a book I would read or listen normally - I picked it up from the library because I had decided to try something new for a change. Well, this was something else.
I love the photography in this book! Erika Knight's book Simple knits for easy living has many easy patterns for the home - throws, cushions, bathing bags and rugs. All of them are so beautifully photographed, that I would like to knit them all right away. I will, someday.
I bought and read The Smartest Guys in the Room: The Amazing Rise and Scandalous Fall of Enron
Bought the book Pursenalities by Eva Wiechmann a few days back. Got it as second hand, and hadn't seen it before - it just sounded so good!
The book Not on our watch by John Prendergast and Don Cheadle tells us about the genocide and mass displacement of three tribes in Darfur, Sudan, and what we can do to end the atrocities.
I read a book by Stel Pavlou, called Decpiher. They seem to admire this on Amazon, but I personally wasn't too impressed. Ok, he studied a lot for it and the idea is really interesting and the realisation new, but still the book was somehow sensation-seeking and repeated it's own patterns.
After a long, long while, I got my hands on a book that really facinated me so much, that I could hardly lay it off my hands during the working day. So, indeed I didn't, but finished this book in 3 days.
