The sarcastic note strategy is working. I would suggest "association is not causation" the overarching criticism of this waffly , padded out pile of pseudo-science so far.

Jeez this is slow going. I have , however , come up with a strategy for getting me through this. I am writing notes and underlining as I go. Shortest note was 'bollocks' repetetive notes such as 'pointless and irritating unneccessary description' are making me feel better if nothing else. Only 72% left -gulp

Hmmm.......the only thing I dislike more than self help books is pseudoscience spouted in self help books. And the only thing I dislike as much as that are references to ancient Rome in a bid to pad out the book. Suffice it to say this is not going well.....

Julie is reading The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking

I loathe all self help books so I am not looking forward to this. Its february's book for book group so will try. and be non judgemental. It has started surprisingly well by slagging off self help books. Hopefully unlike the others it wont try and spin a chapters worth of ideas into a fifteen chapter book

This book is incredible. Not usually a fan of short stories, nor American writers. But Alice Munro is Canadian and these short tales of various aspects of life are superb. Some stories were so intense I had to put the book down for a while. A fit man who develops Motor Neurone disease in particular. Acutely observed and described yet not in that pompous condescending way that irritates me so much about Ian MacEwan.

Saw Hilary Mantell at the Hay Festival. She came across as one of those people you would put on your ideal dinner party guest list. Really looking forward to reading this book on the National Express this afternoon :-)

I can't believe a) how much I am enjoying this book b) why have I not read it before c) how little things change in some regards in two hundred years!

I am so loving this book. Can't believe a male author can convince me so thoroughly he is a woman by the way he writes .
