Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Gone Girl. Because it made me profoundly out of sorts.

All Booker winners. Some good books would go but a greater service would be done by removing the rest.

Burning a book by Will Self? That’s My Idea Of Fun.

I bow to Bint’s personal experience, but I didn’t find that article especially annoying, it is typically provocative and pretentious, and also amusing and honest. I was interested to read how Dworkin’s book changed his views on porn.

Gone Girl definitely, and The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole.

I wouldn't burn any books because of my family's history (escaping a book burning regime).

Postscript... and I still don't known what to do with my grandfather's German history books, they're gathering dust.
