Books in


Every time Sarah and I visit a new city to look at a university, we seem to end up in bookshops. Not a problem, in theory, but of course, it's virtually impossible to visit a bookshop without buying books... Here are a few from Reading. The Bees is one which has been on my list, and it was on the BOGOHP table - Sarah wanted a different one with that sticker, so it worked out well.  The Jane Smiley, I couldn't really resist as it was part of a Books for Syria promotion - authors and publishers had donated some books to the cause and 100 per cent of the cover price was going to Syria. Seemed churlish not to buy one, and this was the only one I fancied that I hadn't already read (there were only ten or so choices).
