Re James’s book 29 (’Life Class’) Pat Barker

I just read your review which I thought spot on and far more perceptive than any of the published ones from the broadsheets which were quite anodyne and descriptive.

A friend suggested Elinor is meant to be based on Vanessa Bell and I was searching for confirmation that this might be so… still loking.

Will visit your reviews again,
Thanks,
S

At the moment, 26 Books is invitation only – we’re all friends of friends. That’s not to say that we wouldn’t be keen to expand that into something bigger, but we don’t have any plans at the moment.

Cheers,
James

I’m wondering how do I get started writing book reviews for your blog?

Thank you

Hi ,

I just came across your blog , and I thought you might be interested in featuring a book I’m currently working with. “Citizen Alpha,” by author Patrick E. Peterson, follows a group of grad students who utilize their scientific knowledge and spiritual intuition to alter the course of events set in motion by international terrorists plotting against America.

I have pasted more information below, and you can also find more info at http://www.synergybooks.net/. Would you like to receive a review copy of “Citizen Alpha”? Thanks!

We could also set up a book give away for your readers. Please let me know.

Best,

Summary
Citizen Alpha follows a group of international graduate students that fatefully converges at the University of Chicago, only to find they share a special, spiritual synergy together, despite their diverse backgrounds. Meanwhile, another alliance forms across the globe—this one is comprised of warlords and terrorists whose outlooks are molded from growing up in poverty and violence in the shadow of the American empire. Hailing from North Korea, Colombia, the Middle East and Somalia, these villains gradually join forces in a plot to unleash a nuclear weapon on America. Guided by study group leader Peter Jobe, the grad students utilize their scientific knowledge and spiritual intuition to alter the course of events set in motion by the terrorists, ultimately saving America—and the planet—from certain chaos and nuclear destruction.

Starting with commenting sounds like a great idea.

I think we should be commenting more – but possibly we need to have more overlap between the various reading lists.
