Getting stuck into some reading

http://jimseven.com [http://jimseven.com] It is very easy to collect books on coffee for their own sake, and I am as guilty as the next man.  I’ve got lots of them (well - not hundreds or anything) that aren’t much good for reference as I have all the source texts.  Interesting to see how badly written many of them are, some barely above casual plagiarism.  I think I’ve probably posted before on the number of coffee books that anyone with a copy of Davids and Ukers could knock up in half a day.  Books published as a reaction to a percieved spike in the public’s interest in coffee.  Not useful books - but when you see them on ebay for 99p you can’t help but bid!

The photographic evidence of my kitchen cookie disaster was so extreme, so beyond ridiculous, no one would ever believe they weren’t totally contrived for the purposes of including on my blog.

At the end of the line, he folded his napkin and stepped off the train.

But Lombard said the author's new book, the story of a son reunited with his late mother, "embodies Starbucks values" because it's "an inspirational tale that encourages people to examine their lives with family and friends." Albom, of course, is famous for writing books no sane person would wish to be stranded on a desert island with: Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven.
