Free books - be one in a million

Drag your nose from your laptop, desktop flatscreen or Kindle for a bit and stick it into some really ancient technology for a change. A book. They've been with us for 600 years, but I've got some beautiful modern ones to give away.
I was among the 20,000 lucky people selected to get some of the one million books to give away as part of World Book Night. So was Paulene, my wife.

... more summer reading

Here’s some more books I’ve enjoyed this summer, in addition to those I posted about earlier on.

Through the language glass - Guy Deutscher

Editorial Design

Second years: there are now several copies of the excellent Editorial Design by Yolanda Zappaterra in the Drill Hall Library.

Books (enthralling title)

Does anyone have any suggestions on books that I should buy (as in I will need them all the time) for Public Affairs?

Book Aid

Does anyone have a copy of "The Challenge of Democracy" by Cunningham? I need to read the first two chapters by Monday, the due date of my book through the post is Tuesday and the library has no copies, not even the reference! If I could borrow one for a day or two that would be great.

Attention all first years!!!

Hey guys,

Attention for all those who are in need of books!!!

Top Ten Must Reads for Journalists

This is my unashamedly left-wing/green list of must reads for journalists. There are, I'm sure you'll notice, a few glaring absences, such as My Trade, Flat Earth News, etc. I've made this list deliberately personal, I wanted to avoid the books that you'll all have been recommended since September already. Anyway, let me know what you think, and if you have any that you'd add to a list of your own!

Books, books, books...

Can anyone recommend any good books, prefereably non-fiction? I'm at a bit of a loss as to what I'm going to read next.

My current ideas are:

The Shock Doctrine - Naomi Klein

In Defence of Lost Causes - Slavoj Zizek

The Vanishing Face of Gaia - James Lovelock

Hold Everything Dear - John Berger

From Marxism to Post-Marxism - Goran Therborn

OR The Other - Ryzard Kapuscinski

But I'm not particularly drawn to any of them over the others. Any ideas?
