A story about "The 2 1/2 Pillars of Wisdom"

The 2 1/2 Pillars of Wisdom

by Alexander Mccall Smith

Sort of whimsical and stupid, I can’t see what the fuss is about the author. Maybe “Number One Ladies Detective Agency” is a better book.

UPC:9300617311652

That’d be “Universal Product Code”. Time for a web-service to look it up. :-)

Lonely Planet Cycling France (Cycling Guides)

by Sally Dillon

I’ve used both the Lonely Planet “Cycling France” and “Cycling Britain” books, in both cases I’ve found that although the books are good, the maps are fairly poor and hard to follow.

A story about "The Mammoth Book of Men O' War (Mammoth Book of)"

The Mammoth Book of Men O' War (Mammoth Book of)

Read all but one of the short stories. The language in the Joseph Conrad story “Billy Budd” was such heavy going that I gave up

A story about "Thigmoo"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Adrian Tritschler) — Tue, 19 Jul 2005 10:06:33 GMT

Thigmoo

by Eugene Byrne

Light-hearted and entertaining, but with enough ideas to give people something to think about.

The Arabian Nights: Tales from a Thousand and One Nights (Modern Library Classics)

A spur of the moment purchase from one of the second-hand book stalls at the lunchtime market.

A story about "Sophies World"

Sophies World

by Jostein Gaarder

Quite enjoyed it, but I was reading it too little at a time and I lost the thread. Will have to re-read it one day…

nobody@allconsuming.net (Adrian Tritschler) — Tue, 19 Jul 2005 10:06:28 GMT

Quicksilver (The Baroque Cycle, Vol. 1)

by Neal Stephenson

I’m not really reading this edition, but allconsuming doesn’t know about ISBN:0-09-941068-0

A story about "Death Sentences : How Cliches, Weasel Words and Management-Speak Are Strangling Public Language"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Adrian Tritschler) — Tue, 19 Jul 2005 10:06:27 GMT

Death Sentences : How Cliches, Weasel Words and Management-Speak Are Strangling Public Language

by Don Watson

Once again, I’m actually reading a different version from a different publisher, but allconsuming is incapable of finding that version’s ISBN.

A story about "The Island of the Day Before"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Adrian Tritschler) — Tue, 19 Jul 2005 10:06:27 GMT

The Island of the Day Before

by Umberto Eco

English, interspersed with French, Italian, German and Latin… I can only seem to take a few pages at a time and then my head swims from Umberto Eco’s use of language. I love the language, but sometimes just have to let it wash over me rather than try to understand it all.

A story about "Lara Croft Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life (Special Collector's Edition)"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Adrian Tritschler) — Tue, 19 Jul 2005 10:06:27 GMT

Lara Croft Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life (Special Collector's Edition)

by Jan de Bont

Raiders of the lost ark it certainly isn’t.
Almost, but not quite, cringingly bad.

A story about "The Arabian Nights: Tales from a Thousand and One Nights (Modern Library Classics)"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Adrian Tritschler) — Mon, 18 Jul 2005 11:07:02 GMT

The Arabian Nights: Tales from a Thousand and One Nights (Modern Library Classics)

For some reason the website has decided I have read this, even though I keep leaving the tick box empty! I”VE ONLY JUST BOUGHT IT AND HAVEN”T OPENED IT YET

A story about "This Is a Place for a Song"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Adrian Tritschler) — Mon, 18 Jul 2005 11:01:24 GMT

This Is a Place for a Song

by Various Artists

The title of the CD is “This is the place for a song”, surely people can see that from the cover!!!
