I almost gave up on this one

But I persevered to the bitter end. A whodunnit complete with the twist in the tale that was entirely predictable.

Weaving the web for the Spiders.

Search engines use spiders to crawl the web looking for webs, that hold interesting and unique content. I can make beautiful and intricate webs for the spiders…..

I write because I enjoy it and particularly like taking complicated or mundane subjects and making them easily understood and somehow interesting. I have written for several years on the internet producing SEO articles. Length of copy varies from tiny tweets, comments on face book and small blogs of three hundred words to lengthy promotional articles of more than a thousand words.

Subjects range from international travel and hospitality, to finance, health, employment, property and so much more.

I write articles relating to original web content, and place them in ezine directories and link all of these together to create the spider pattern that the search engines love so passionately. This in turn raises the ranking of your website, bringing you traffic, making you money

I enjoyed this book by Rachel Kushner. She has a contemporary style of writing that is both honest as well as engaging.

The Mars Room is a strip Club and the story is an account of what it is like to be poor and a female and to be serving two life sentences in a correctional facility in America. Raw earthy and at times brutal. Worth reading, albeit in small chunks.

It is not one of those books you can’t put down.

Readable but only just. I needed the help of Google to recall the story line of this book by Mark Billingham.

The unfolding plot is both clumsy and contrived. In particular, the attempt at an erotic twist in the tale. Inserted for impact rather than content, the punch line falls flat. Clumsy and puerile. Only suggested if there is nothing else to hand.

A work of fiction woven out of historical facts. The melodrama is overdone but it was interesting enough to keep going.

Covering perhaps one of the most interesting periods in the history of the Moghuls. A time when the seeds of conflict were sown, a conflict that has boiled over and which has split the continent between Hindu and Muslim.

Another Dud.

Didn’t take long to decide that this book was not working for me
