Hello – we’re back with the first podcast of 2009!
To kick off the new year, we have some truly stunning “must-read” book recommendations for you – there’s no better way to profitably use up those book tokens – from the eminent John Simopoulos, Dean of Degrees at St Catherine’s College, Oxford. Today’s featured book is A Time of Gifts: On Foot to Constantinople – From the Hook of Holland to the Middle Danube by Patrick Leigh Fermor.
In today’s Write Report, Donna brings us up to date with events over the past two weeks… including yet another fake Holocaust memoir… a Nobel prize committee resignation… and why lawyers can now officially call themselves “super”. Oh, and the top five “thinking man’s sex symbols”…
In Eve’s Salmagundi Club, she tells the cautionary tale of a writer who complained on his blog about the rigours of book tours… and received a lot of nasty feedback from the public.
