review 1: Hilarious from the first few pages. English stand-up comic Robin Ince describes his journey through the obscure, infuriating and baffling world of literature. Exclusively bought second-hand (or in one case, found in a skip) he catalogues a wide range of titles, from Guy N. Smith's Crabs series (about giant, murderous crustaceans) to the literary offal of Ann Coulter and Richard Littlejohn. I work in a bookshop myself, and was strangely intrigued to find we had a few of the titles he covers in stock.
review 2: People write odd book on odd subjects, and Robin Ince appears to have collected most of them. We get a categorised tour of books covering topics such as how to pick up girls, how aliens must have visited, autobiographies of the famous, fantasy poetry about... more TV celebs... you get the idea. And it's fun, but just one to dip into now and then. I tried the read it cover-to-cover option, and doing that I lost interest :-( less
