- Thu, 15:02: Nebula Award Stories Number Three, ed. Roger Zelazny Zelazny seems to have taken the job of editing this collection seriously, and his introductions include lengthy quotes from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and Czesław Miłosz. #nwbooks https://t.co/rUBj6H64BL https://t.co/5kqPkxrCzg https://t.co/zSw1tONDyv
- Thu, 15:24: Caricature, by Daniel Clowes I love the way Clowes takes us into his characters' worlds, and at the same time using the graphic medium, we can get an idea of how other people are reacting to them. #nwbooks https://t.co/T6RTob4P5M https://t.co/VOt1eDApJU https://t.co/9Z4Gc6Or7P
- Thu, 15:46: The Rising of the Moon, by Flynn Connolly There's a lot for the Irish reader to nit-pick, (eg the crowd gathering in the *park* *opposite* *Belfast City Hall*), but it was a better read than I expected. #nwbooks https://t.co/WW7FjsI75u https://t.co/zE1JwR2dbg https://t.co/02SW2oWZya

- Thu, 16:08: Twelfth Night, by William Shakespeare It's pretty good. Not as intrinsically good as the similar Midsummer Night's Dream and Comedy of Errors, but close. #nwbooks https://t.co/lHDOAppEMB https://t.co/anGncToiEw https://t.co/ZXbzigFjTn
- Thu, 16:30: The Treason and Trial of Sir John Perrot, by Roger Turvey A brief book, the high point perhaps being the fatal moment when Perrot was confronted with evidence that he had called the Queen a "bastard piskitchen woman". #nwbooks https://t.co/lOkCe5hSH0 https://t.co/lFAATcUMCD https://t.co/7aVs1DTbyU
- Thu, 16:52: Why Can't Elephants Jump?, ed. Mick O'Hare Another great collection of New Scientist columns with readers asking questions and other readers answering them. Lots of interesting trivia. #nwbooks https://t.co/AYWKjkDOV9 https://t.co/SvJ1pA012i https://t.co/4TlpfrxICK

- Thu, 17:14: Scotch on the Rocks, by Douglas Hurd and Andrew Osmond Extremists defeat the British establishment; the SNP, despite selling out by accepting devolution, end up with an independent state that others fought for. #nwbooks https://t.co/HVWEAhgh31 https://t.co/kUlmYCZ2Yg https://t.co/j2XW5wyW05
- Thu, 17:36: Raising Steam, by Terry Pratchett Takes one of the Discworld plot lines that I often find less successful - an aspect of modern culture intrudes into the fantasy environment - and really does something quite interesting. #nwbooks https://t.co/A8XDd1YNnX https://t.co/uR1KJ3HGq1 https://t.co/0YVuxvTF9Q
- Thu, 17:58: Seraphina, by Rachel Hartman There's a lot of good stuff here about being othered, body dysmorphia, racism and prejudice, and loyalties split between family and state; and music as a counterpoint to combat. #nwbooks https://t.co/hjPDpPffC1 https://t.co/5egPxVPtTB https://t.co/6qyoEbFG3e
