So I have been keeping track of the books that I have read. And -- while I'm at it -- I write a brief review... from my own perspective. My perspective. My opinions. My choice of books.
And all of this goes on a blog.
Is anyone reading this webpage ? Are you also looking at my reviews ? I hope you enjoy them !
If you like what you read -- feel free to let me know. If you can see where the blog (or a particular post) could be improved -- please let me know. If you don't like what you read... Oh well, *I* like it :-)

I do hope that you appreciate the pun in the name... Or is it based on a purely Australian expression ? My wife does not like the name. The rest of my family just groan. The original intent of the blog and the name was for regular reviews of public toilets. Believe it or not, it's easier to review books.
