About meA history graduate from the North West of England. I probably spend too much time reading and thinking and not enough doing.

About my libraryI use LibraryThing to list what I have read or would like to read, rather than necessarily to catalogue books that I actually own. Despite my history background, fiction titles probably out-number fact by about four to one.

In my current rating system, two stars are given to books that I did not like for one reason or another. They are not necessarily bad books, they just did not work for me at te time I picked them up. A rating of 2.5 suggests a neutral stance, and anything higher than that denotes varying degrees of enthusiasm. No rating does not necessarily mean that I disliked a book, I might not actually have read it yet!

From a reader's perspective it may appear as though all is well in the world of books. There are so many fantastic books out there, just waiting to be read. The number of new titles being published each day is incredible. It can seem as though the book industry is immune from the commercial pressures that have reduced ambition of the film, TV and music industries, and yet Robert McCrum as given me reason to think otherwise:
