Want to buy a book? :D

A work colleague offered to lend me her copy which she read back in May before it was all the rage.
I declined. I can’t be seen sitting on the train or at home reading that!

You ever seen a panda blush?

is there an illustrated version?

I can’t be too unfair in commenting on these books as I haven’t read them. But by all accounts they seem to possess that zeitgeist/ faddish quality that certain literary works have had over the years. Such a thing is not solely a modern phenomenon by any means, but certainly reaching stratospheric levels of saturation thanks to the very medium we are contributing to right now, together with other forms of immediate and popular publicity.
In saying that, I cannot recommend Suzanne Collins’ THE HUNGER GAMES series of books highly enough, or Lee Child’s JACK REACHER novels. Add to these Justin Cronin’s epic, apocalyptic vampire trilogy that began with THE PASSAGE and continues later this year with THE TWELVE and you have clever, well crafted works that reach (ha) far beyond any apparent “target” group of devotees.
Give them a bash if you can.
