By the time I post this blog article, I will have posed the raw notes I took as I read the book. I am really enjoying making these notes. Creating them adds depth to the experience of reading and I find it worth taking the time as I read. When I was looking up some of…

Not quite the Book Review – Captain Corelli’s Mandolin
Here is my quick and dirty list of references from Captain Corelli’s Mandolin. They are of limited value without the book, but there is some interesting stuff to go and find out about if you wanted to 🙂 1st page of the book, about Louis de Bernieres – His first novel was called “The War…
Diary, update and another next book
Hi all, quick update on the blog as I am spending more and more time reading or publishing short snippets on twitter 🙂 I finished Captain Corelli’s Mandolin and the review is in progress. I am about 1/2 way through The Fog by James Herbert which I think I might finish next week or shortly…
Next book: James Herbert – The Fog
Evening all. I am within spitting distance of finishing Captain Corelli’s Mandolin and have been planning a bit of a new idea for future books. I should have realised this right at the start, but this blog is called a book club! As far as I can, I will post a blog entry before I…
Book Review – The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists – Robert Tressell
Introduction I chose to read The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists because my Mum read it at her book group and recommended it. I also found it as a free eBook on Kobo which helped!

This is an introductory paragraph to the work in progress that is the ragged trousered philanthropists review. I have posted this because it has taken me a good portion of a day off to get this far and I didn’t want to just bury it until it is finished. Also, if I post this, then…

Gaahhh. In. Book. Shop. Must. Resist. Even the powerful discount must not tempt me!!
Diary ++
An auspicious event passed on Saturday 13th September 2014. I finished The Ragged Trousered Philanthropist, my first book since starting the blog. I have taken it off the “Currently Reading” list and [toot tootly toot] created a “Now I’ve Read” page that [toot tootly mmmeeewww] should have been started already when I reviewed Peter Pan by J.M.Barrie… I am not going…
Diary entry
I have said this before, but this will be a quick update blogpost. I am still ploughing through The Ragged Trousered Philanthropist. It is very hard to judge how far through an eBook you are. I know you get the % indication, but its not like a real book. I have been taking notes and highlighting…
