- Wed, 15:00: 1610: A Sundial in a Grave by Mary Gentle 1610 is a fascinating and kinky look at the year of the title and possibilities of changing history. But I recognised too many elements from Gentle's other work, & it is too long. #nwbooks https://t.co/6JuXUKrHKB https://t.co/Qz4ww312Vt https://t.co/eJ0peSDRtm
- Wed, 15:20: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen R. Covey One of the more useful self-help books; goes far beyond the questions of running an effective office and concentrates on how to lead a more rewarding life. #nwbooks https://t.co/eTZTfwkFig https://t.co/dGDl5wWyeU https://t.co/0XXjwN4ckY
- Wed, 15:40: A Clash of Kings, by George R.R. Martin In rereading this time, I was careful to pay more attention to the characters' dreams and visions, since it's fairly clear that they are signals to the plot to come. #nwbooks https://t.co/xgDvyJTqFA https://t.co/w7jJlfVkmn https://t.co/cUngu7BZon
- Wed, 16:00: Sourcery, by Terry Pratchett Rincewind is really a one-joke character, and the proof of Pratchett's genius is that he stretched the joke out over two excellent books (and then tried for a third time here). #nwbooks https://t.co/KXxUfYKckI https://t.co/exqjPVOIsJ https://t.co/LeuloMzkH7

- Wed, 16:20: Mortal Causes, by @Beathhigh Particularly enjoyed this for the Northern Ireland dimension. The whole picture came together rather neatly at the end, in an arrangement reminiscent of the better Agatha Christie novels. #nwbooks https://t.co/5tGravfmIH https://t.co/8cfvWaMXND https://t.co/tdsj0bmEc2
- Wed, 16:40: Year's Best SF 8, ed David G. Hartwell I liked very much almost all of the selection of stories from 2002, especially @AlyxDellamonica's "A Slow Day At The Gallery", @CStross's "Halo" and @GregEganSF's "Singleton". #nwbooks https://t.co/AvGzwzKkzI https://t.co/Xh47SNCQD6 https://t.co/2ctVvqAaHz
- Wed, 17:00: At The Mountains of Madness, by H.P. Lovecraft, adapted by @injculbard Takes Lovecraft's classic novella and puts it into a stark graphic novel adaptation, beautifully suited to the tale. #nwbooks https://t.co/N0o0noB1db https://t.co/e6rCJg4A3T https://t.co/WuYTkcpsBb

- Wed, 17:20: About Time: The Unauthorised Guide to Doctor Who, 2005-2006, by Tat Wood Seventh volume of the superlative About Time series; an in depth and critical look at the first two years of New Who, the time of Rose Tyler. #nwbooks https://t.co/pxNhM1R3r1 https://t.co/TBUWEpgdXf https://t.co/8OeIew1hVk
- Wed, 17:40: The Fat Years, by Chan Koonchung This is a really fascinating book from 2009, set in the very near future of 2013, after financial crisis has wrecked the world economy apart from China, which has now become Top Nation. #nwbooks https://t.co/BbKyOVp1P1 https://t.co/XYWnDXoZG8 https://t.co/ni5RvODLla
- Wed, 18:00: The Fate of Rome: Climate, Disease and the End of an Empire, by Kyle Harper The key point is that the most developed society is still vulnerable to the vicissitudes of climate change and disease - a lesson for us all. #nwbooks https://t.co/4uTuc1rFRM https://t.co/8s89eC8oDG https://t.co/gked6GwtcE
