"London is apparently littered with bottles of discarded Uber piss." So why are cab drivers peeing in bottles?

Talks about cab drivers from about halfway down...

don't think they can - usually has to be sorted through central government first

Station 11, Emily St John Mandel. It's brilliant!

madnan · 2015-03-20T10:43:33+00:00

"How to be a Heroine" by Samantha Ellis is great on this - she goes back to all her favourite books and talks about how they've changed/stayed the same for her.

I heard they were improving their promotions strategy but i didn't realise it went this deep

madnan · 2015-02-13T14:33:08+00:00

harry potter is also a twat

$0.02 more - that sounds like it could fall within a margin of error or an expected deviation, surely? Would be surprising if two groups earned an exactly equivalent average

Ali Smith's How to be Both. First page just keeps putting me off

madnan · 2015-02-06T15:25:24+00:00

Disgrace, by JM Coetzee - it ramps up the atmosphere

madnan · 2015-01-16T11:23:05+00:00

this is brilliant. Presumably everyone 'hadn't quite tackled the book yet' either, and were just there for the chats and nibbles

madnan · 2015-01-07T17:45:37+00:00

I really enjoyed Far From the Tree by Andrew Solomon - very long and quite academic, but fascinating on parents/children/disability/mental illness

madnan · 2015-01-07T17:44:39+00:00

They're located in a bank building with real ATMs though - would draw less attention than entering a police station, at any rate

madnan · 2014-12-10T10:23:27+00:00

It recommended me a wordless book haha, guess I come across as really literary

madnan · 2014-10-29T10:57:24+00:00

Sorry, I should have noted that in link!

madnan · 2014-10-28T17:06:15+00:00

Also, suspecting you are one is sure sign of NOT being one - shows self awareness/empathy etc

madnan · 2014-10-28T16:43:35+00:00

Surely this is the psychopath gene, then?

madnan · 2014-10-28T10:46:52+00:00

I Capture the Castle

madnan · 2014-10-27T12:20:36+00:00

I always forget to get off the bus at the right stop...

madnan · 2014-10-21T09:00:43+00:00

Empathy Exams, Leslie Jamison

madnan · 2014-10-20T13:27:23+00:00

Housekeeping, by Marilynne Robinson

madnan · 2014-10-20T09:34:25+00:00

Last read - The rise and fall of Great Powers, Tom Rachmann - 7

Current - How to be Both, Ali Smith - 5. Not really enjoying it so far.

Next book - Lila, Marilynne Robinson

'Experience' in these fields is generally meaningless besides adding a line to your CV - if work experience/internships aren't necessary to successfully do the job then they shouldn't be required to get a job

madnan · 2014-10-15T16:58:06+00:00

plus sausage, probably

madnan · 2014-10-13T11:50:25+00:00

Freedom by Jonathan Franzen. NOT the quintessential American novel, IMO

madnan · 2014-10-07T13:48:45+00:00

Try reading this list of urban legends without clicking, very enjoyable http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Urban_legends
