When you are engulfed in flames - David Sedaris

*****

Wonderfully light, quirky collection of self-deprecating sketches. His writing's appeared in The New Yorker. Best for dipping in &amp; out of.

Compulsion by Jonathan Kellerman

*****

Usual murder mystery fiction featuring psychologist Alex Delaware partnered with LAPD detective Milo Sturgis. Grand easy holiday read that raced along but the plot I shall probably have forgotten by vacation's end. #book #fiction

God Is Not Great

*****

I was expecting great things in this book from a thinker I deeply admire. Unfortunately it has nothing new to say and has no chance of convincing anyone on either side of the fence. I'm not a big reader, I rarely read anything approaching philosophy...

tasty, substantial breakfast cereal which, thankfully, has no dried fruit. Nice alternative to my usual weetabix or porridge.
