The Books
Here's a list of the books as of 20 February, 2015. Click on the title and you'll be taken to a page with a discussion/summary of the particular book (if you're lucky, or not, I guess, depending what you think of my writing).
I must admit to not much liking the colour I've chosen for links and hover. However, as a person who has red/green colour blindness, and being aware of people with yellow/blue colour blindness, and having had a friend who was so totally colour blind he depended on me to be honest when we played snooker (a very brave assumption on his part) I've tried to choose something we might all see, except, perhaps, the totally colour blind.
This is a bit of a bugbear of mine. When I was a teacher I tried to educate my colleagues that around 12% of their male students (it is almost completely a male thing) can't read or have great difficulty reading material written on the board in red, green, yellow or blue. In other words, they should stick to black. I had little success, especially among the female teachers, who comprise the great majority of teachers.
So, why haven't I stuck to black? Because, as I have difficulty seeing colours I just love very, very bright colours that really stand out. Don't imagine that for those of us who are red, green, blue, or yellow colour blind that we're totally blind to those colours. They just don't stand out as much as they do for the rest of you. So my apologies to any of my fellows who have difficulty reading my colours. I suppose, if it is any comfort, that at least you're in my thoughts. And, yes, I'm just a hypocritical turd.
