Just make sure you keep away from open flames while reading, unlike this poor fool...

Looky here. It's the 25th and time's winged chariot is on fire, burned by the dystopian sonofaguns of F451. It is a particularly exciting time as we have come to the end of the current cycle of choosination.

Westmoors, you may stick your hand in the ballpit of choosination and pull out one of the following gorgeous names:
Serendippily
Bintmcskint
Bazoaxe
postieboy
Chrisull
quimby
westmoors
Night-owl
LindsD
The Scribbler
Little Nemo
McGoohan
DazTheSlug
GregP
Diogenes
Lorraine

I notice that Columba isn't in the choosination list - but I'm guessing would still like to be in it?

Westmoors - it's over to you

I see that technically, I have included you which might seem wrong as you've just choosinated, but this is a new cycle, a new dawn.

I have no problem with a choosinator going two months on the bounce. No problem at all.

Since we've been talking a *lot* about travel writing over the way, it's timely to ask where we stand on the choosination of non-fiction.

And I suppose you could say that of those, Blood River, Three Men in a Boat and the Eric Newby are travel writing, so we've got form.

I have read some decent non-fic recently though I'm not a natural non-fic reader. I like the way a novel can draw you in and make you part of a world that doesn't often happen in non-fic.

Instrumental by James somebody. It was also a bit of a misery memoir but well done of its kind.
