- Sun, 15:00: Machiavelli in Brussels: The Art of Lobbying the EU, by Rinus van Schendelen This book is written in appalling English. I do not say this lightly. The sentences are tortuously and often ungrammatically constructed. #nwbooks https://t.co/24PJdvDqMT https://t.co/irBBwad8fj https://t.co/UdGAWKGptR

- Sun, 15:45: Again, Dangerous Visions, edited by Harlan Ellison Striking how unmemorable and self-indulgent most of the stories are (also Ellison's long-winded prefaces). 4 memorable stories out of 41 is a very poor strike rate. #nwbooks https://t.co/fo6BMjtON5 https://t.co/ThNWoFG4NI https://t.co/P1s4EyN3PG
- Sun, 16:30: The Story of Ireland, by Brendan O'Brien A lovely illustrated short history of Ireland for younger readers. Hits most of the highlights that you would expect in less than 100 pages. #nwbooks https://t.co/G0CBQ3bgCH https://t.co/I0hgy6APMy https://t.co/yv5jtMwoXf
- Sun, 17:15: Jeremiah: Een Geweer in het Water/Rifle in the Water, by Hermann I have to say I wasn't hugely impressed. Lots of shooting and conspiring, but it didn't hugely engage me. #nwbooks https://t.co/6FTosrLyQn https://t.co/JzEI54Xw5U https://t.co/rzeTOrgH94

- Sun, 18:00: Nine Gates: Entering the Mind of Poetry, by Jane Hirshfield I'm not hugely into poetry, but I certainly don't dislike it either, and this is a good approachable set of essays looking at what poetry is and what poets do. #nwbooks https://t.co/tJ8W5JjQVV https://t.co/ikMZM1krlh https://t.co/kjjff9KSds
