The Kindle may be going great guns at the tills, but with no Dan Brown, no Philip Roth and – gasp! – no Sarah Palin available from its store, what are people reading on it? So Amazon's selling 100,000 Kindles a week, or it is if you believe Stuff.tv . Amazon's not telling – "company policy not to disclose sales" they say, though they won't say why not – but a quick...

The problem started when I went in to Waterstones. They were doing a 3 for 2 on EVERY BOOK IN THE FREAKIN’ STORE. I was in Glasgow for a wee spot of shopping. Look at me. 2009 is going to be an organised holiday. (Now if I could only get someone to write out my frickin’ cards, I would be in crimbo heaven. BTW, I don’t get the whole Xmas card thing. Can people not just visit/ phone/...

A family in which the children are asking for bare necessities as gifts instead the usual barrage one might expect; it is as telling as it is affecting....

Crovitz on Anonymity :: The Future of Capitalism On the broader question of climate change science, the group-think suggested by the emails is bad for the scientific process, and as Thomas Kuhn pointed out in his classic The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, it's often a precursor to a paradigm shift that, when it comes, is adamantly resisted at first. Just ask Galileo. Climategate and Scientific...

Today when getting changed I noticed that there was a sticker on my leg. I don't know how it managed to get there, but it was a sticker from an apple, with the word FRANCE written on it. Not only did I find it funny that an apple sticker had managed to get on my leg, but I was also amused because if I think about it, today I really have been trying to be French. Let's count the ways. The other day...

I can't read Twilight. I can't read Harry Potter. I can't read Steven King. I can't read Tom Clancy. I can't read Danielle Steele. I can't read John Grisham. I can't read Dean Koonz. I can't read Ann Rice. I can't read them, because I won't read them. The mere thought that these books are Oprah approved, or popular makes me not want to read them. Yeah I've read King, Clancy, and Grisham..but I just...

Apologies for the lateness of this update, life seems to have got very hectic recently. We met (ages ago) to discuss 'Alice in Wonderland' by Lewis Carroll . To be honest there wasn't much to discuss! I think we were thinking that there might be some adult themes and hidden messages but it was exactly the same story I remember from childhood. I forgot to take a vote, but no one particularly hated it....

Last night I took a look at my bedside table which is where I stack books waiting to be read. I counted twelve. That's not counting the one I had in my hand. In fact, my space for books was all maxed out so I have three more on my desk. If you're keeping count, that's sixteen so far. Add two for the ones currently en route from Amazon and we're up to 18. What are they? Well, I'm currently reading two....
