- Fri, 14:20: Fermat’s Last Theorem, by Simon Singh To be honest I was a little disappointed in this best-seller. I expect a little more social grit with my history of mathematical Great Men. #nwbooks https://t.co/wMzBYpTzFE https://t.co/1WSZmlJPre https://t.co/eaXFfENdMA
- Fri, 14:40: The Shore of Women, by Pamela Sargent Women live in hi-tech urban enclaves, while men are consigned to a nasty, brutish, short life in the wilderness as punishment for causing a world-wrecking disaster centuries ago. #nwbooks https://t.co/e3WqgLTSwQ https://t.co/bokj9qGO4G https://t.co/qyY2RmMGDe
- Fri, 15:02: The Full Cupboard of Life, by Alexander McCall Smith More laid-back Botswana tales, with lots of incident and little plot – indeed, the only actual bit of detection for the detective agency peters out half-way through. #nwbooks https://t.co/ae09r1jkMw https://t.co/oxoZOydKhp https://t.co/WeOFPOCBrD
- Fri, 15:20: White Crow, by Mary Gentle Mostly lost me somewhere between the showing and the telling. #nwbooks https://t.co/3xBV7B4mnO https://t.co/myNh8NUsMh https://t.co/IjEbA8SwRt
- Fri, 15:40: Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bront� I find the repeating pattern of destructive and inescapable family relationships rather depressing and, frankly, not terribly interesting. #nwbooks https://t.co/303yddL6R0 https://t.co/2pQt8RseW4 https://t.co/LM52lG0F88
- Fri, 16:02: Up the Poll: Great Irish election stories, by Shane Coleman The prose is generally catchy, and it would be a good stocking-filler for anyone with an interest in Irish politics. #nwbooks https://t.co/ol1kxe5b6S https://t.co/z9u2yXZZ3W https://t.co/1sonzoT0mS

- Fri, 16:20: A Short History of Myth, by Karen Armstrong Armstrong urges a wider appreciation of the importance of myth in the present day, to which I’m totally sympathetic. #nwbooks https://t.co/lIA469uqrS https://t.co/zym6uKHoP0 https://t.co/0sP7jzObLK
- Fri, 16:40: The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck Gut-wrenching story of agricultural and economic disaster in the late 1930s, and how vulnerable people get exploited both in general and in particular. #nwbooks https://t.co/9wT6yY8YqI https://t.co/SCcjekllSz https://t.co/eLr9FnrJ3A
- Fri, 17:03: Up the Walls of the World, by James Tiptree This is pretty good – a book with three plot lines, human researchers in a secret lab and two different alien viewpoints #nwbooks https://t.co/9srSdVbNUj https://t.co/LqQPHDYIUp https://t.co/42aDtrUG3l

- Fri, 17:20: Space Helmet for a Cow: The True, Mad Story of Doctor Who vol 2, 1990-2013 by Paul Kirkley The book actually goes up to the end of 2015 rather than 2013. It’s as entertaining as vol 1. But I didn’t get as much out of it. #nwbooks https://t.co/oHNECD7xUg https://t.co/r8cIbEzU1g https://t.co/nFuIOeq6qB

- Fri, 18:27: Spent the last three hours reading stuff in German, for the first time in ages. My conclusion: I need to be reading stuff in German a bit more often… any comics/graphic novels to recommend? I find that a fairly painless way of keeping my Dutch and French up to the mark.
