Strange News from Another Star by Hermann Hesse
Rate this book
Clear rating
A disappointing collection of short stories from Hermann Hesse, who decides to write his ideas here as fairytales and dreams. This can often leave them clunky (perhaps only in translation?) and uncompelling; while one or two of the eight stories here ...more

Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu
Rate this book
Clear rating
I was sceptical of reading the Tao Te Ching before I opened it. Often these short, simple ancient books of philosophy don't resonate well for a modern audience. Such has been their influence that their once-revolutionary thoughts can be taken by a mo ...more

Vintage 1954 by Antoine Laurain
Rate this book
Clear rating
I opened Vintage 1954 knowing it would be a harmless bit of fluff, but I was still disappointed that it didn't have more to it. I didn't mind the shallowness of the concept, in which a group of Parisians drink a bottle of 1954 vintage wine and find t ...more

The Ghost From The Grand Banks by Arthur C. Clarke

The great Arthur C. Clarke writing about the Titanic, and more particularly about that once-fashionable idea of "raising the Titanic", should be a winning combination, allowing for Clarke's fondness for nautical technology, credible futurism and inte ...more

Napoleon's Pyramids by William  Dietrich
Rate this book
Clear rating
Sometimes a book just fits you well and, as you read it, it carries all its minor flaws before it and makes them insignificant. Napoleon's Pyramids by William Dietrich was, for me, such a book – though it won't be that way for everyone.

Anything for Billy by Larry McMurtry
Rate this book
Clear rating
Aside from the peerless, inescapable Lonesome Dove, that exemplar of the genre, it seems Larry McMurtry only really wrote one Western. While I've not read all of them so far, of the ones I have I can say they are much the same at their core, whether ...more

Earlier this week, during a business trip to London, I was able to duck out of my office on my lunch break and walk down the street to visit Temple Church. You turn off Fleet Street down an easy-to-miss alleyway and find yourself in a calm and gentle ...more

"Rubicon's bridge in flames, I tread further." (pg. 4)

Four books in to author Raymond St. Elmo's Five Clans series, I'm still not entirely sure what it is I'm reading. A sort of bizarre, erudite, shape-shifting adventure that is simultaneously verbos

Eifelheim by Michael Flynn
Rate this book
Clear rating
A fine idea for a story that I deeply regret to say is less than the sum of its parts. The concept is that in the 14th century, during the Black Death, an alien spaceship crash-lands outside a German village and, in the months that follow, its occupa ...more

A High Wind in Jamaica by Richard Hughes

While capable in what it does, Richard Hughes' A High Wind in Jamaica remains a slightly disappointing read. I was not one of those who went into the book expecting a fun pirate adventure with children à la Treasure Island and consequently came out d ...more
