Wow, weird! It did time out and give me one of those no data pages. Obviously the hamsters were overcome with excitement.

Anyhow there’s a review of the BA’s book in yesterday’s Australian. Just a brief review in a column but it’s a good one. If he wants to contact me, I’ll send it to him. 🙂

I can’t find it but sometimes they put their columns up later. It was in the Books Review Extra section and I would be surprised if the entire paper goes up on the website.
