Books and bobs

Ha! Over at Huff Post they've compiled a list of books that nobody's read but everyone says they have. They include The Canterbury Tales, Ulysess, The Satanic Verses and Moby Dick. Full list here 

They've also done a spectacular gallery of the worst memoir covers of all time. 
This one is my favourite...

Great story at the New York Times on Obama becoming the new Oprah when it comes to moving copies of books (of course he's reading Jonathan Franzen's Freedom as well)

and in closing...
