inside books: Underground thoughts
http://insidebooks.blogspot.com/2015/03/underground-thoughts.html
Wednesday, March 18, 2015. Thoughts at the half way point of: Underground Overground:. A Passenger's History of the Tube by Andrew Martin. One of the problems with history books, no matter how interesting the subject, is that facts have to be shared and as a result sometimes the narrative gets pulled back from heading off in other directions. Despite the age of the network the tube is constantly evolving and it remains a constant source of conversation for its users. You just have to look at the exci...

inside books: Review: A Country Doctor's Notebook by Mikhail Bulgakov
http://insidebooks.blogspot.com/2014/01/review-country-doctors-notebook-by.html
Tuesday, January 21, 2014. Review: A Country Doctor's Notebook by Mikhail Bulgakov. Mikhail Bulgakov is world renowned for the brilliant The. But if you go back to the start of his writing career you get a slightly different but still hugely enjoyable experience. The small hospital is not just a learning ground for him in terms of medicine but also as a man as he copes with facing the demons of isolation and loneliness for months on end. By the end he is not only a much more competent doctor but also...

Newer posts →. February 9, 2013 · 1:40 am. What a show off! I never liked people who show off. I unfortunately grew up in a part of the world that excels at it. I don’t give a sh* what brand you wear. What car you drive. What clubs you are a member of. What bottle of vodka you order when you act silly after midnight. Where you spend your augusts. My first car was a kia. My second too (. After I crashed the first one near the Casino du Liban before a final). And their show off did not turn me off. La tâch...

inside books: Review: Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch
http://insidebooks.blogspot.com/2015/03/rivers-of-london-by-ben-aaronovitch.html
Monday, March 16, 2015. Review: Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch. One of the cover lines describing this book asks you to imagine what would have happened if Harry Potter grew up and joined the police. In a very basic sense that provides a guide to the pages within but it also falls well short. But for me the other main character in the book isn't Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, the last English wizard who lives in the Folly, an old building protected by magic, but it is London itself.

inside books: review: The Fifth Business by Robertson Davies
http://insidebooks.blogspot.com/2013/03/review-fifth-business-by-robertson.html
Monday, March 11, 2013. Review: The Fifth Business by Robertson Davies. When you start a book that is the first of a trilogy there is a part of you that starts to prepare for a long literary journey. You expect to read a book that is set at a pace where you finish with plenty of questions left unanswered. In a way it doesn't matter how far Ramsey travels looking to satisfy his interests in saints he is always grounded in that small town of Deptford with his past holding him back as well as shaping his fu...

inside books: Dipping into some Leonid Andreyev
http://insidebooks.blogspot.com/2014/02/dipping-into-some-leonid-andreyev.html
Monday, February 10, 2014. Dipping into some Leonid Andreyev. After deciding to dip into Project Gutenberg and see what was there, and to postpone getting bogged down further in the Dostoyevsky I'm trying to read, I downloaded The Crushed Flower and Other Stories. It's shaping up to be quite a diverse collection of short stories with different techniques used here to cover such themes as adultery ( The Crushed Flower. Love and faith ( Love, Faith and Hope. Series when reading The Crushed Flower,. Is an o...

inside books: Guest post: Luca Quicke on The London Eye Mystery
http://insidebooks.blogspot.com/2013/08/guest-post-luca-quicke-on-london-eye.html
Tuesday, August 27, 2013. Guest post: Luca Quicke on The London Eye Mystery. The London Eye Mystery. David Fickling Books 2007. I would definitely recommend to a friend. The mystery was fantastic and the characters personalities made you want to be their friends. I liked the way they used the London Eye on the cover and included Big Ben. It drew my eye in the bookshop and the story was as good as the cover. BOOKWORMS 5 out of 5. Posted by Simon Quicke. September 01, 2013 2:26 pm. What a wonderful post!

Friday, January 17, 2014. Going for a Russian lit/history focus.

inside books: A short introduction to Turgenev
http://insidebooks.blogspot.com/2014/02/a-short-introduction-to-turgenev.html
Tuesday, February 04, 2014. A short introduction to Turgenev. In a last ditch effort to try to have a go at using an e-reader I fired up the Nook on the tube to work this morning and taking advantage of some Russian short stories downloaded a while ago from Project Gutenberg managed to do a spot of reading. It's one of those stories that you hope doesn't head the way it does but you keep reading and rooting for Gerasim because of the core values of the man to be true to himself. Posted by Simon Quicke.
