Odd Poems A world in verse.
Dave's Book List |
This weeks recommendation is a SF novel from a years ago. Like most ‘novels of the future’, it never quite turned out that way. But as stories go, it’s a great read. One word of caution! If you follow the link to Amazon in order to buy a copy, steer well clear of the copies […] Now that Dave’s Book List is on site, I thought that you might like the occasional recommendation. These books are the ones that I personally like, have read (often, more than once) and enjoyed. I’m not trying to sell them, only recommend. Read them if you can lay your hands on a copy. Make up […] Over the next few days, I will be adding ‘Dave’s Book List’ Just have a look down the left-hand side. Click on the book.

Well, I’ve read all the previous books in the series. As a purveyor […] Must admit that, until now, I’ve not been an appreciative reader of poetry. Recently a friend lent me Alastair Reid’s ‘Weathering’. It wasn’t long before I had gone out and bought my own copy. Alastair Reid was born in Whithorn but has travelled widely and lived at different times in the States, France, Spain, Greece […] Recommended reading. Bill Bryson, ‘Made in America’ As a guide to how the (American) English language evolved, it is first rate. Lots of myths de-bunked in the process. And the word ‘poppycock’ will never seem quite the same! 🙂 Still reading through it, but good enough to mention when only 1/3rd read. Mesklin Have you ever wondered how things happened during the Cold War? Who were the Movers, the Shakers and the Duffers! This is the story of the Lockheed Corporation’s secret factory in Burbank, California. Incredible deeds, fantastic creations, and impossible odds. All true. And why, at great expense, the fastest, highest flying aircraft in the world, […] |
