Three word reviews: latest books
Not a year-end list, but here’s what I read since the last time:
The Areas of my Expertise by John Hodgman
Worthy toilet fodder.
Space: Japanese Design Solutions by Michael Freeman
Many empty rooms.
Penguin by Design: A Cover Story 1935-2005 by Phil Baines
Many design classics.
So Many Ways to Begin by Jon McGregor
Quiet, beautifully observed.
Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons
This was great.
Ways of Seeing by John Berger
A worthy re-read.
How We Are Hungry by Dave Eggers
Current favourite writer.
Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami
I was disappointed.
Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain
Tasty morsel (groan).
On Photography by Susan Sontag
Aged but insightful.
Ham on Rye by Charles Bukowski.
Hard, relentlessly hard.
Tips welcome.
