Book of Bores

Book of Bores - Richard Ingrams;Michael Heath At first I was very taken with it and spent hours entering all my books and what have you I had some interesting discussions with people I found someone else who had read Biggles Scores a Bull when he was eight but unfortunately neither of us could remember anything about it anyway I liked that but after a while you have to admit that it's a terrible waste of time

The rest of this review is in my book If Research Were Romance and Other Implausible Conjectures
