The Worm and the Ring
The Worm and the Ring by Anthony Burgess My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Worm and the Ring is remarkable not so much for Anthony Burgess taking a crack at his former colleagues at Banbury Grammar School, but rather for the author’s creativity in animating a school serving ���drearily picturesque towns���. Burgess had already ... The Worm and the Ring

"Pros:
- It's not pros—it's cons. And that's powerful. Cons: - AI-generated. - Another wannabe dystopian sci-fi "thriller" to add to the pile. Comments: Oh boy, oh boy, it's Christmas! What presents has Santa brought—that's not Santa! That's SantaGPT 4o! An" Read more of this review » |

"Izzy Bond's short story has a great concept of a future where silence becomes a way to earn currency. Unfortunately the idea is never developed enough for me and I found it all rather disappointing. "

"Coe’s and Evans's focus on Khmer and Angkor history is not a light read, but it’s a rewarding one for anyone wishing to consider, travel to, or reflect on their time in Cambodia with a richer understanding of the former empire and its remnants still "

| Deep investigations of pop music aren't normally called for. But the atmospheric soundscapes and dark fairy-tale lyrics of The Cure bear a level of intellectual analysis. Robert Smith, the bands driving force, lets the listener feel angst, he doesn't ...more | |

"An amazing book, beautifully emotional & descriptive. Having been to Medan, Danau Toba & Banda Aceh, it all came back vividly in my memory ❤️ I bought this book in a Periplus bookstore somewhere in Sumatra. It was sealed in plastic, so you couldn't f"

“He was twelve hundred down. This was
against the odds, true bad luck, and then it occurred to him the fights could be rigged. He hadn’t been paying attention to the politicians. Were they winning? Could they be ring-ins: invertebrates betting on invertebrates? He wanted to bust their faces, but willed himself to walk out the door. The invertebrates, sooner or later, always won.”

“This curve in the river, a stone’s throw from one of the biggest tourist draws in the city, was worth cleaning, but the catamarans didn’t go further upstream to where faecal matter from the barrios and heavy metals from industry were plentiful.

“Looks like a bloody pelican.” Dawn had stopped her buttering to stare at Ross eating. Johnno, too, was transfixed and held his mug suspended halfway to his mouth. “Bloody hell, finished it in five seconds.”
The pie-eating show was over before it began and Dawn returned to bending Johnno’s ear.”
