- Wed, 14:45: Safe Area Goražde: The War in Eastern Bosnia 1992-95, by Joe Sacco A superb portrait of a community under siege, not actually sure if there is a future, yet alone what it might hold. #nwbooks https://t.co/RtpunqwY8e https://t.co/8NVS1T1biG https://t.co/mzAlnmo7A7

- Wed, 15:07: Moving Mars, by Greg Bear Moving Mars scores very well on the sensawunda scale, better indeed than most Nebula winners. I felt it also worked well on the human level. #nwbooks https://t.co/XAu1q56P11 https://t.co/gw9TJuosE7 https://t.co/3KjbB0WkpO
- Wed, 15:28: The Jewel-Hinged Jaw, by Samuel R. Delany I really bought the book for his essay on Thomas Disch (who I haven’t read) and Roger Zelazny (who I have) and I thought that was well worth the cost. #nwbooks https://t.co/Nfp5ZevnIL https://t.co/RPVp90Ck5z https://t.co/4F1v89tXyG
- Wed, 15:50: William the Silent: William of Nassau, Prince of Orange 1533-1584, by C.V. Wedgwood The book was published in 1944, and there’s clearly an implicit parallel with WW2, William portrayed as an almost Churchillian figure. #nwbooks https://t.co/GmWJ760snQ https://t.co/ZIoihMpeDw https://t.co/VcER7bDHeT

- Wed, 16:12: Postwar: A History of Europe since 1945, by Tony Judt I learned a lot about the German Question, and the individual histories of the Soviet bloc states. But it’s thin on eg Belgium and Ireland. #nwbooks https://t.co/ismCz2YMfk https://t.co/RICjZaSd2z https://t.co/nCD0yliI4H
- Wed, 16:32: The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius Marcus Aurelius believed in the Stoic philosophy: accept one’s lot, and just get on with it.

- Wed, 16:55: The Thorn Birds, by Colleen McCullough It’s all epic human interest stuff, but the first two thirds could have been trimmed down to make a better book, and the last third expanded slightly to make another. #nwbooks https://t.co/U0uQeujYMh https://t.co/XKLjm7jKXl https://t.co/OVSObPaWUM
- Wed, 17:16: Caprice and Rondo, by Dorothy Dunnett There is a pretty chilling scene with Nicholas and his estranged wife held prisoner together on a barge in the Flemish fog; I read it slowly because I did not want to put it down. #nwbooks https://t.co/NREsEBWUoO https://t.co/rHzgssVr9v https://t.co/sk9t85lxzQ
