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 | |

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 | |

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 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 | |

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 ...more |

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 | |
