bookshelves: g-history
This is an excellent book that covers a lot of ground in Historical investigation and information, that then connects it to the context of a potential sense of national pride that Billy Bragg is wrestling with.
I would thoroughly recommend this book for anyone interested in British history. ]]> UserFollowing326162216 Mon, 28 Apr 2025 00:40:30 -0700 <![CDATA[Gareth Howells is now following Lawrence Block]]> /user/show/5368571-lawrence-block Gareth Howells is now following Lawrence Block ]]> ReadStatus9361440471 Mon, 28 Apr 2025 00:38:20 -0700 <![CDATA[Gareth is currently reading 'Piranesi']]> /review/show/7525074149 Piranesi by Susanna Clarke Gareth is currently reading Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

bookshelves: favourite-fiction, a-science-fiction
Loved this book. Very different to other Tchaikovsky books, and has a Robert Sheckley vibe all the way through. The 5 chapters are themed, which adds an extra layer.
It's unpredictable and always compelling, sometimes very funny and always with an eye on gentle social commentary. ]]> UserStatus1046842707 Wed, 16 Apr 2025 12:45:53 -0700 <![CDATA[ Gareth is starting Service Model ]]> Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky Gareth Howells is starting <a href="/book/show/195790861-service-model">Service Model</a>. ]]> Review7480066015 Fri, 11 Apr 2025 11:54:28 -0700 <![CDATA[Gareth added 'Bradbury Speaks']]> /review/show/7480066015 Bradbury Speaks by Ray Bradbury Gareth gave 4 stars to Bradbury Speaks (Paperback) by Ray Bradbury
