I had a short stint with Goodreads and then decided to abandon it. These are the reviews I collected there, moved here so they live on my own site instead. I am not much of a book reviewer, but let’s keep them for the record.

Out of everything I shelved, only seven books got an actual write-up. The rest I read and rated without ever saying anything about them, and those are listed further down.

Same story as the book reviews: I had a short stint with Goodreads and then decided to abandon it. These are the quotes I marked as favourites while I was there, moved here so they live on my own site instead.

The export they came from had no authors attached, so I have put the names back myself. Where a line is famous mostly because it has been passed around, I have said so.

The Dacia Tender Was a Masterclass

Sometime in 1966 a wooden crate arrived in Bucharest under guard. It had been built deliberately oversized and featureless, so that nobody handling it could work out what was inside. What was inside was a car: a Renault prototype that, as far as the world was concerned, did not yet exist, a model still years away from a French showroom. A handful of people were allowed to look at it for a few days, and then it was crated up and taken away again.
