ALA |: Sep 23, 2006 10:42am 14 reviews library-resources, literature, books, censorship
http://www.ala.org/ala/oif/bannedbooksweek/bannedbooksweek.htm; Actually, I don't "like it" but you know what I mean. Over the centuries there have been a number of books banned or challenged in the UK, but when it comes to banning books in the 20th century and beyond, forget the Nazis, the Soviets, the Chinese or even the Spanish Inquisition. Nope, the Yanks keep on reminding us why we in Europe, and especially we in the UK, were right to ship so many religious fruitcakes and assorted nutters across the Atlantic in the 17th century.

Go on - Freak a Fruitcake: read a book they want to ban - and then give it to someone else to read. You know it makes sense.

Literature-Map - The tourist map of literature: Sep 19, 2006 12:50am 43 reviews literature, books, reference
http://www.literature-map.com/; Interesting. Not sure how reliable it is though. Are Monty Python fans really keen readers of Karl Marx as the map suggests they are?

Catherine Mannheim - Jeweller: Aug 26, 2006 1:33am 2 reviews design, jewellery, gold
http://www.catherinemannheim.com/; I'm gobsmacked. Gobsmacked I am. I love this woman's sense of style and design - ultramodern but some of her pieces have more than a hint of ancient Sumerian jewellery of 4,000+ years ago. I'm saving up.

http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/exhibitions/renoirlandscapes/default.htm; The National Gallery's exhibition for next spring and early summer. Renoir, eh? Bound to be popular.

The London Silver Vaults: Aug 17, 2006 12:28am 1 review antiques, silver, london
http://www.thesilvervaults.com/; An astonishing place filled with accredited dealers in antique and modern silver. Obviously the place to go to buy some social credibility for your family once you've bought your new title from the Blair government.
