Shane Bordoli and 88 other people liked Randol Hooper's review of India: A History:
India by John Keay
"I purchased this book looking for a good survey of Indian history. I have a degree in history and I am perfectly familiar with the heavy, ratkilling monograph. I am in no way intimidated by them and sat down to tackle Keay's work like I would any oth" Read more of this review »

The Revolutionists by Jason Burke
"This is an informative book written by a journalist, not a historian, so it's full of panache in its storytelling but it's not analytical and, at times, it feels like the material rather gets away from the author. It's also not just about the 1970s a" Read more of this review »

Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome
"Loved this book as a youngster. Still remember the smiley face in the can of food they were trying to open. Innocent enough fun especially for people who like pootling about in boats."

Malala Yousafzai
“I started thinking about that, and I used to think that the Talib would come, and he would just kill me. But then I said, ‘If he comes, what would you do Malala?’ then I would reply to myself, ‘Malala, just take a shoe and hit him.’

But then I said, ‘If you hit a Talib with your shoe, then there would be no difference between you and the Talib. You must not treat others with cruelty and that much harshly, you must fight others but through peace and through dialogue and through education.’

Then I said I will tell him how important education is and that ‘I even want education for your children as well.’ And I will tell him, ‘That’s what I want to tell you, now do what you want.”
Malala Yousafzai

Mark Twain
“I haven't any right to criticize books, and I don't do it except when I hate them. I often want to criticize Jane Austen, but her books madden me so that I can't conceal my frenzy from the reader; and therefore I have to stop every time I begin. Every time I read Pride and Prejudice I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.”
Mark Twain
