Dividing by Zero and multiplying that reading list

Help! My reading list just keeps growing and catching up is so hard to do...

So here, to accompany your morning or afternoon cup of coffee (isn't it morning coffee and afternoon tea?) are some more book reviews and coffee recommendations. The blue links will take you to longer reviews. The coffee ratings will take you to appropriately styled cups of coffee:
