- Mon, 15:00: The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien Enjoyed it just as much as I ever did; the ending becomes ever more powerful as I get older. #nwbooks https://t.co/4Ds4ire8J8 https://t.co/FkrOkrIajy https://t.co/ggz5Rvxaxc
- Mon, 15:20: How To Read Shakespeare, by Nicholas Royle Takes 7 short dialogues from 7 Shakespeare plays, hangs a short essay on each, explaining what Shakespeare is doing in the dialogue, in the play, and more broadly in his work #nwbooks https://t.co/F8VDq7s1kr https://t.co/PVMPVYvIQI https://t.co/JgTabkdRHE

- Mon, 15:40: 32 Stories, by Adrian Tomine I did enjoy these 32 short vignettes of life, mainly in San Francisco, mainly with first-person narrative from Tomine himself or Amy, his fictional proxy character. #nwbooks https://t.co/BHYpOoxOxy https://t.co/shmiLK8ihM https://t.co/Eo02Z898Uu
- Mon, 16:00: The Wandering Fire & The Darkest Road, by Guy Gavriel Kay Kay is prepared to kill off key characters; who will live and who will die? And climax: final battle, self-sacrifice, decent resolution. #nwbooks https://t.co/tzTxI8ephW https://t.co/KNUYia6q1o https://t.co/b1vtf1Vhss https://t.co/5HoIPhydvZ

- Mon, 16:20: Making Ireland British 1580-1650, by Nicholas Canny Canny argues persuasively that the intellectual agenda for colonisation/plantation was set out by Spenser and became inevitable after the Flight of the Earls #nwbooks https://t.co/tOwiArwwSB https://t.co/7GruSGDJR4 https://t.co/YxfhTdHxg0
- Mon, 16:40: Slow River, by Nicola Griffith Good. 3 different strands, heroine’s childhood & 2 different phases of her recovery from a kidnap ordeal, with some very sensuous descriptions of setting (Hull, of all places). #nwbooks https://t.co/6n5q07ukD6 https://t.co/4TnFnOJQAV https://t.co/FIgUH1dOLZ

- Mon, 17:00: Rhyme Stew, by Roald Dahl A collection of poems by Dahl, ostensibly for children. Longer poems generally much better than the short ones, which often miss the mark of good taste (let alone appeal to the target audience). #nwbooks https://t.co/e0j7ly2kcH https://t.co/EuyWjNS3tO https://t.co/ojuJMmE6LQ
- Mon, 17:20: Orlando, by Virginia Woolf Different from a lot of Woolf’s other work – much more accessibly written in some ways, and yet also the least naturalistic in that her gender-flipping title character is apparently immortal. #nwbooks https://t.co/XNEqgco6ux https://t.co/v7QSextF6c https://t.co/3ZARxOGzYs
- Mon, 17:40: Heartspell, by Blaine Anderson Set in seventh-century Ireland. Our hero is attacked by a cougar. There are tame wolves. Ireland’s eastern coast is much more rugged than the west. Misspellings abound. Rubbish. #nwbooks https://t.co/yeken3cQw5 https://t.co/csuyUCiQEb https://t.co/bTv5Cv7eB3
- Mon, 18:00: In the Heat of the Night by John Ball Almost everything about the book is better than the film. Setting is in SC not MI; Tibbs from CA not PA; we get more inside the heads of the protagonists. Good stuff. #nwbooks https://t.co/wPqtakTH74 https://t.co/GZzoCHKSy7 https://t.co/liI4DlQaAm

- Mon, 18:07: RT @Nickpheas: @jasonomahony @nwbrux Poitier’s rage with “They call me Mister Tibbs” is a joy to behold. Well have to give the book a look.
