Despite every attempt by the rain to keep me indoors, I managed my quota of free books given to equally bedraggled non-readers. It’s interesting how many people don’t read books – magazines, particularly football related, seem to have a big following. Those I spoke to, who only read mags, appeared to look on book-reading as something akin to the black arts or faintly dubious pursuit!
London Book Fair Report
An exciting & thought-provoking event made all the more interesting by the conflicting opinions about the huge Chinese presence.
I’ll shortly be blogging:
- An interview with Louise Jordan of the Writers’ Advice Centre;
- Reviewing Carole Jahme’s latest novel Worth Their Weight in Blood & finding out what she said about her work during our LBF interview;
- Looking at the 3-volume work East Meets West from Joan Chan.
Full reviews will be available to download, as soon as I’ve got through Carole’s 300+ pages and Joan’s 700+.
