I've added 3 books to the list, unfortunately, you can't see one of them - it's fallen off the list.
Person Of Interest
It was actually the first time I read/listened to Gulp, and I did post a few comments here and there but didn't write a review because... I rarely do. I did vote for it and re...

Although not quite entirely devoid of interesting content, it was pretty close. Instead of fact-based discussion about our digestive system with some humour sprinkled along th...

DNF @ 34%. I looked at my current reads this morning and just cannot bear the thought of spending more time on a book I evidently don't enjoy when there are so many awesome ...
