Now you're talking! But....about what?

[Andrew Ives · Rating 4 out of 5]

Surprisingly amusing and especially applicable to today's living, Goat-Feathers shows how a man, an author, can be waylaid from obtaining his deserved success by those million and one every day concentration-breaking little wastes of time we all get annoyed by. What Butler would've made of Facebook, the internet, mobile phones, spam email and a zillion channels of television would've been fun to read. Recommended.
