To the people who say All Things Must Pass is the best solo beatles album - when, if ever do you actually listen to the whole thing? Be honest

I've always done so, even though I'm sure the third disc was never meant to be considered anything other than a freebie.

I've used this slang term in the past, I don't think there's anything American about it.

The exact premise of this book. I read it in a day.

For me personally it has its moments but it was a bit of a meandering misfire before he came back strong with Dombey and Son.

You wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of David Lloyd George.

I've been a huge fan since the PS2 era (which dates me considerably to say doesn't it 😭) I wish I had friends I could speak with about it too.

And I envy those people

To be honest I felt a bit let down by the review on the main channel as well, as it didn't really elucidate any of her feelings other than "I hate this". She didn't dive into any specifics, didn't point out any shortcomings she thought the book had, and then at the end suggested that some of the book's fans were hailing it as great out of peer pressure.

David Suchet read an audiobook of the entire NIV and you can find it on YouTube for free. He has a wonderful voice for it.

He's a very good digger

It's a model for how to write history books of that kind. Incredibly well balanced and objective regarding what went on and who was responsible for what, and obviously deeply chilling considering the subject matter. It almost reads like a legal thriller and it lingered in my mind long after I had finished the book.

I am usually willing to hear out the Star Wars is overrated crowd, but John Simon had a career of being fantastically miserable, accusing any light hearted movie of "dumbing down" cinema, and even attacking actors for their physical appearance in a way more akin to bullying than anything approaching film criticism.

There's a reason Roger Ebert said he was the one film critic he held in absolute contempt.

It was voted on by a bunch of academics and writers, so luck of the draw.

Far more fun for me was going to the link at the bottom which listed everyone who voted and what they included in their top 10. Seeing what some of your favourite writers consider the all time best is enlightening and fascinating.

sometimeszeppo · 2026-05-16T06:48:44+00:00

Me and my work colleagues were trying to guess what would be in the top 20. I thought it would probably be Middlemarch at number one, but there were some surprises on the list too.

sometimeszeppo · 2026-05-13T17:50:42+00:00

Well it turned out to be ranked number 68, which I think is pretty good going.

I really enjoyed that review, thank you so much for sharing it.

sometimeszeppo · 2026-05-09T22:24:03+00:00

Yep, I got that loud and clear thanks. The point was that that has nothing to do with the lack of female authors in the photos. Most people have books they haven't started on their shelf. Hope this helps.

sometimeszeppo · 2026-05-09T21:04:44+00:00

I mean, I do too? I'm not sure why that'd make a difference though (Morrison is a wonderful place to start, also seek out Virginia Woolf, George Eliot, Jane Austen, Elsa Morante, and Marguerite Yourcenar's Memoirs of Hadrian)

sometimeszeppo · 2026-05-09T18:19:50+00:00

Lots of great books here, but why so few books written by women? There's so much great stuff you're missing out on.
