news to me (that it is June tomorrow? aaargh)

So many books, only one life...I thought at first Mr Deaver was a serial killer, which is why I clicked on this when it came up in my reader. Got him confused with someone else....It is, after all, a fine name for a crime thriller writer .

From last week, there are five book reviews up on the blog at Overland. What a great platform for blog reviews - good to see this.

Included is a review of Lisa Dempster's Neon Pilgrim, Alec Patric's poetry collection which has been released as an e-book, and Emmett Stinson's short fiction collection, Known Unknowns, from Affirm Press.

Academic librarian Constance evaluates the Kobo reader, recently sold out at Borders stores across Australia.

Maud noticed this, and I thank her for it.

Not in a book group? try this one on for size. If you're not in the States, you might like to use it as a reading list later on. With notes.

The Duck has found us all something really good and silly to finish on.

How about this? The number of books you actually read in your life, that's how many there actually are: solipstic, sure but philosophically viable....

Thank you dear G, I am always pleased to find a wet Daniel Craig when I follow a link.
Just found (in an opshop) a Peter Fleming biography, and learned that his amazing adventurous life was clearly the inspiration for the James Bond character his little brother created.

All part of the service. The bio sounds very good, some fine book sleuthing there!

Thanks for the linkage, genevieve :)

Have you tried any ebook readers?

No worries! my pleasure, it's a good assessment.
I saw the Kobo in Borders last week - very first one I'd held. It was a demo model, and probably needed a recharge because of all the punters trying it out.
