Since first seeing the wonderful cover of this book I felt sure that I would enjoy it. I am of course, an adventurer myself, and so to read a book about such amazing exploits as those undertaken by Martin and Tanis was wonderful. At first their approach to their whole life amazed me. I have trouble actually getting…

My First Microadventure
I have always like “the out doors” I suppose that it is one of the many reasons why I am interested in green, sustainable, post consumer, ecologically responsible things. Lets face it, nature is really nice 🙂 Back in the summer when I started my post consumer book club (membership one) and simultaneously created this…
Farewell Raven and Altered Carbon
After my post last night, I have had a good sleep, and caught up with stuff. I still have lots of dreaded work to do this weekend, but that’s not now. Now is eating croissants, putting up Christmas trees, playing WII and wrapping stuff up. Oddly, this morning’s wrapping wasn’t for Christmas, but for a…
Next Book – Love all the People by Bill Hicks and John Lahr
Hello everyone. I am amazed that I have managed to go 2 weeks without blogging! It’s a real shame to say it, but work has properly stopped play recently. I have started travelling to work on the train, and I had been using that time to read, read, read. I have to say that it is…
Farewell captain Corelli
I have had this idea in the pipeline for a while, and it’s amazing. Well, in my head it is, anyway. I hadn’t really planned to start this so son, but took action as soon as I realised I could. The plan was that once I have read a book, I can send it out…
Hello Word Press, nice to be here
Evening all. Well, what the bloody hell happened there? One minute I was finishing Altered Carbon and trying to find the time to write the review before starting Terry Brooks – The Sword of Shannara. Next thing I know, I’ve half written the review in evernote (other note apps are available) and moved my blog!! I’m not…
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…
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…
My connected web expands.
So here I am, blogging away like a good’un, but who is looking?? Well a couple of bored mates, but that’s it at the moment. Even so, I still wanted to make my content accessible to more people via more channels. Because of the magic of Google, blog posts already get copied to my google+…
Not quite the Book Review – The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists – Robert Tressell
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…
