Harry Potter mania has yet again reached London. With the latest book being released tonight, and the blockbuster movie in theatres, it's all a bit much. Confession: we've never read a single Harry Potter book, or even seen any films, and we aren't going to start now. |

So, in celebration of our HP embargo, we're suggesting some non-HP literature for your summer hols. Because, really, it's not your body everyone's judging pool or beachside, it's your book. Christopher Hitchens is our secret (slightly embarrassing) crush, so
we're very excited about reading his new book "God is Not Great:
The Case Against Religion". If you're a close personal friend of
Jesus, then this clearly isn't the book for you. But, it's a brave and
thorough deconstruction of the major religions. Comfort your inner pop star with the new autobiography from Blur's
Alex James, appropriately titled "Bit of a Blur". Blur was
one of the best Britpop groups of the 90's, and James details just how
fabulous his rockstar life really was. |

Some might say that Katie Price,
aka Jordan, isn't their idea of a literary genius, but we quite like
the girl, and her books aren't bad (perhaps because they're ghostwritten).
Following the success of her first 'novel' 'Angel', Crystal is darker,
exploring the rise of an aspiring singer chasing fame. Sound familiar? And for more summer reads, head down to The Pan Bookshop, that will
be having a HP night with a twist tonight. As well as releasing Potter
and the Deathly Hallows, they'll be focussing on other books as well. |
