- Sun, 14:10: Never Eat Alone, by Keith Ferrazzi with Tahl Raz Aimed at the thrusting, selfish young executive; tells them to calm down, do favours for others and be generally nice because it is fun, and will help your career. #nwbooks https://t.co/GPiDRDkx91 https://t.co/XxFdI9RPsj https://t.co/zrj9ERFZHR
- Sun, 14:45: The Breaking of Nations, by Robert Cooper “States have at their disposal three main instruments of influence: words, money and force. They can persuade, they can bribe or they can coerce.” #nwbooks https://t.co/n1Ew4GYGjN https://t.co/JErSW7FY1p https://t.co/agFbfrvgER

- Sun, 15:20: Notre Dame de Paris, by Victor Hugo Biting social commentary, though set in 1483; the innocent Esmeralda is persecuted by the ruling classes, defended only by denizens of the underworld and a disabled bell-ringer. #nwbooks https://t.co/p0wHXQNmcs https://t.co/1IEEAFCLO4 https://t.co/mHG8PO6p21
- Sun, 15:55: Where Late The Sweet Birds Sang, by Kate Wilhelm Wilhelm was asking some pretty serious questions here, if not necessarily providing the answers; in any case the former rather than the latter is her responsibility. #nwbooks https://t.co/SRcsXCYfzO https://t.co/h45By5LWns https://t.co/7v91BZW9Oa
- Sun, 16:30: Medea, by Euripides Jason – idiot, philanderer, or Machiavellian? A powerful character study of a wronged woman exacting revenge. Rather thrilling. #nwbooks https://t.co/0h8vTWuOw2 https://t.co/4WFqKIkmB4 https://t.co/prH6O2YC5v
- Sun, 17:05: The Invention of Childhood, by Hugh Cunningham An attempt to chart society’s attitudes to children in Britain though history. I found myself sympathetic to the conclusions. But I’d have liked some harder facts as well. #nwbooks https://t.co/9CjK27MPbA https://t.co/1MKHCmiHI5 https://t.co/t0i8prYwCw

- Sun, 17:26: RT @stephenkinsella: @nwbrux The Origins of You is well worth your time, it’s got facts galore from the Dunedin studies.
- Sun, 17:40: A Crocodile in the Fernery: An A-Z of Animals in the Garden, by Twigs Way This is a rather nice little listing of peculiar choices of garden pet made throughout history (Charles Darwin’s worm obsession is a stretch). #nwbooks https://t.co/M1ACnDXbv5 https://t.co/lS00PROA03 https://t.co/DWpfPcdpSp
- Sun, 18:15: Baptism in Blood, by Jane Haddam I was not very impressed; there seemed to be little evidence of the local police (or indeed anyone) doing boring stuff like taking evidence, and the town’s sexual politics was boring. #nwbooks https://t.co/dpiXRnhWG5 https://t.co/oT4jRi2pFm https://t.co/OMljFVj64L
