Someone had posted asking where we go to choose what books to read. I feel lucky to have the New York Times Book Review every Sunday. The NYT is now reportedly the only newspaper in America to have a free-standing book section.
It's the last section I read, usually tossing it aside and then read a bunch at once, pen in hand, ripping out things to note. I've unexpectedly come to really appreciate the non-fiction. I know I probably won't read the book, but the lengthy review is usually educational all by itself.
Do you have something like that to turn to, maybe in the London Times?
