101 Book Giveaway
I'm really excited to see BG Day approaching! I'm only a little bit sorry to see that we have so few books to give away and so many people who would like one. But, hey, you know, there IS always another solution. No, not to download it free off the internet! Silly!*
Unless you are a mega-author, (in which case you wear dark glasses and deny being THE Charles Dickens or whatever) it IS a great thing to meet 'real readers', and to get a feel for how people actually see your books. Naturally, it is not how they were supposed to. We could get into that Derrida debate here about 'to whom does the text belong' but I could never understand all that stuff. For me, the interesting thing is to simply see what kinds of people read the book. The demographic, I think they call it.
So... thanks for taking part in the Book Giveaway, and please DO share here comments and feedback. Constructive, of course, not deconstructive.
*Actually, for some reason my books are always very popular with free-download sites. I don't think it has much to do with the content, maybe to do with how internet savvy the publishers are. Not very!

How to Live: Wise (and not-so-wise) Advice from the Great Philosophers
Here's a few more details for the Goodreads Giveaway
What's the book about?
It's philosophy, Jim - but not as we know it. Tackling questions such as: Which techniques can you use to make people fall in love with you? What should I eat for dinner? How would Aristotle really run General Motors? And where can we find the secret of happiness? Here are 75 thought-provoking ‘life lessons’ based on tasty tit-bits of philosophy drawn from the writings of the Greats.
Can I see a bit more?
Yes! Please pop over to The Philosopher, where I give a listing of the topics, which range from No.1 John Stuart Mill on the Secret of Happiness, to No. 24 Rousseau on the secret virtues of Cheese Sandwiches... plus a healthy dollop of advice on love and sex, of course!
