Similarly, the emphasis is more on DEATH than LOVE or SEX and sometimes cheap shots are included. As well, thinking that killing a beautiful animal, a peacock, for no reason, is funny rather defies either reason or compassion. That said, I have folded over many pages to read and share again.

Literary Criticism.
Nonfiction.
Love, sex, death, boredom, ecstasy, existential angst, political upheaval - the history of literature offers a rich and varied exploration of the human condition across the centuries. In this absorbing companion to literature's rich past, arranged by days of the year, acclaimed critics and friends Stephen Fender and John Sutherland turn up the most inspiring, enlightening, surprising or curious artefacts that literature has to offer. Find out why 16 June 1904 mattered so much to Joyce, which great literary love affair was brought to a tragic end on 11 February 1963 and why Roy Campbell punched Stephen Spender on the nose on 14 April 1949 in this sumptuous voyage through the highs and lows of literature's bejewelled past.

"Reading (particularly reading a 600-page book) is the epitome of couch-potatoism.(...) Reading is a good thing (...) but would it not be an even better thing for children to be outside-actually "doing" something, rather than passively "reading" or "watching" something?
Well done, sir! Way to spread the love for reading in young minds by telling them not to sit down with a book and, practically, wasting their time on it! I wonder why on earth did you make the effort to write a 600-page book...Perhaps you wanted your readers to appreciate it while playing football...
