Never Push When it Says Pull: Small Rules for… di Guy Browning
A couple of laugh out loud moments, but not as many as I expected...
Lightly amusing but lightweight and disapppointing. The 'Maps' are totally incidental. School boy scrawls attempting humour. He would have got detention from the geography teacher. Mr Browning is a specialist in lightweight books. This is merely an after dinner speech to his local rotary club extended over far too many pages. The title conned me into reading it.

The book's divided into short sections of 10 or so essays on a related topic, love & marriage, sport, etc. As with any colleciotn of this type, it has it's ups and downs. There is a dry sense of humour at work here and I found myself giggling happily at some of the essays. Some very good one liners and not at all afraid to poke fun at certain groups. Men in particular come in for a certain amount of stick. If you happen to be a single male trainspotting rambler, this is probably not for you.… (altro)
