2.		Outliers: The Story of Success from Allen Lane Price: £8.49 Customer Review: Plain boring and obviously written to bail out Mr. Gladwell. Mr. Gladwells first book might be a black swan. Some examples: "the beatles had to play 8 hours a day in a Hamburg strip club in order to "learn genius" and Bill Gates "learned how to program" by cheating Washinton University on hours... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		The Very Hungry Caterpillar [Board Book] from Puffin Price: £2.99 Customer Review: If you love reading to your child, do not miss this book. It is a delightful, humourous,dream-like surreal book, with a repetitive, poetic, chanting story. It is (deservedly) a children's classic.

7.		The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable from Penguin Price: £5.29 Customer Review: I originally bought this book last year, I read about half of it but gave up in disgust at the general pretentiousness and repetition.

9.		IEE On-site Guide; BS 7671 : 2008 IEE Wiring Regulations 17th Edition from The Institution of Engineering and Technology Price: £16.15 Customer Review: Not quite the gripping read that the reviews had me believing it would be. I was expecting some tantalising narrative, imaginative characterisation and a poignant denouement - instead I got a load of electrical charts. Is this postmodernism gone mad?
