 The last 20 New books:

  1.  Bill Bryson

    Troublesome Words - Makes a grammarians drudgery into a pleasurable read.

  2.  Lyall Watson

    The Romeo Error - The first half is a discussion of the boundray between life and death. Then he went into the para scientific world of protoplasmic bodies and other paranormal phenomenon and completely lost me.

  3.  Barbara Hodgson

    Trading In Memories - Around the globe with in inveterate collector and pack-rate. Very nice prose.

  4.  Jack Lynch

    Becoming Shakespeare - The story starts with his death and follows the story of his fate sincew then. A must-read for all Shaspeare-o-philes.

  5.  Michel Tremblay

    Twelve Opening Acts - Actually 12 autobiographies on his initiatiation into art - wonderful and revealing.

  6.  Michael Chabon

    Maps and Legend - Like Michel, insights into Chabon's influences that explain a lot.

  7.  Ray Bradbury

    Zen and the Art of Writing - Bradbury maintains his dreamy voice and you feel like these are intense little dreams just for the love of writting.

  8.  Daniel Levitin

    This Is Your Brain On Music - A wonderful investigation of how music is integral to the human psyche. I had to re-read some pages but overall more than worth the read.

  9.  Anthony Herman

    How the Scots Invented the World - And they seem to have done so. Well researched and thorough if a little bit of a tough go at times.

  10.  David Sacks

    Letter Perfect - The individual history of each of the Roman alphabets 26 letters. Very revealing if a little repetitious.

  11.  Gary Geddes

    Kingdom of Ten Thousand Things - Around the world searching for a monk who beat Columbus (and the Vikings) to America.

  12.  Wade Davis

    Light At The Edge Of The World - Essays on vanishing cultures by a self-described "ethno-botanist".

  13.  Owen Gingerich

    The Book Nobody Read - Copernicus's book outlining why the Sun is the centre of the solar system - the story of the author's search for the real truth .

  14.  Ray Bradbury

    Bradbury Speaks - Essays done in Bradbury's inimitable prose style - a wonder to behold.

  15.  Peter Hofschroer

    Wellington's Smallest Victory - William Siborne wanted to do a model of the Battle of Waterloo but the Duke wanted to protect his ego - and so begins a tale of power and disillusion.

  16.  Richard Dawkins

    The God Delusion - Answered many of my questions about religion and personal morality.

  17.  Ernle Bradford

    "The Sword and the Scimitar" - An accessible book on the Crusades.

  18. Stephen Jay Gould

    - Dinosaur in a Haystack - More short articles on evolution and science. Well worth it!

  19. Sylvia Fraser

    The Green Labyrinth - Some very good writing. She reached her goal but I found the narrative rambling - try " A Rope in Water".

  20. John McPhee

    Giving Good Weight - Five essays from a farmer's market to offshore atomic energy, canoing and an anonymous chef. Excellent writing.
