Waterstones' top 100 books of the last 25 years

I went into Waterstones yesterday. I didn’t mean to, of course, but I had my brother staying, and he wanted to go shopping, and I refused to go into HMV (strange, since of course HMV own Waterstones), and Waterstones was next door. So I went into Waterstones.

I picked up three new books to add to my pile of books I have but haven’t read yet.

Whilst I was there I picked up a leaflet – Waterstones’ choice of the 100 top books from the last twenty five years, to celebrate their twenty five years in bookselling.

The list can be found on the Telegraph site.

Flickr Oddness

I use flickr a lot. You may have noticed.

On Saturday, I posted a scan of an article from the Scotsman to flickr - it was about the elections, and I had written an LJ post about it, but wanted to show people the source.

Originally I had made it a private picture on flickr, because I don't like putting copyright material there. But in case someone else wanted to use it - matgb had linked to my post - it opened the flickr photo up.

And someone has made it a favourite.

I just think this is weird. Out of all my photos on flickr, someone has made an article from the Scotsman a favourite? Jeez...

"Coast-toCoast": 5

This is the fifth - and final - part of a series of letters I wrote about my first trip to the USA. You can read what I had to say about writing them here, where there are also links to the first four pieces.
