In My Own Words:
I have a diverse collection of books on my bookshelf, ranging from Alice Walker's 'The Colour Purple' to Stephen Hawking's 'Universe in a Nutshell'. I love all books of all shapes and sizes, reference books (Brewer's dictionary of phrase and fable) and autobiography (Nelson Mandela's Long Walk to Freedom) and controversial texts (Salman Rushdie's 'Satanic Verses').

The Art of Purring by David Michie
The Art of Purring by David Michie
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Programme (What's this?)
This is 200 pages of loveliness! For cat-lovers and yoga-enthusiasts and Buddhist-curious alike, this book is a delight.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Programme (What's this?)
I'll keep this short (sorry, the puns keep coming...). These are a good price at the cheaper end of the scale but stand up well against the competition. Not quite as nice as others in the Durex range but significantly cheaper and the difference in quality is negligible.

They're very thin and a snug fit, and in no way do they impede the task at hand. The smell is faintly detectable but not offputting. They feel natural but reliable.

Couple of pointers: probably not great for those who need a bigger pair of budgie smugglers at the beach - just right for Mr Average though. Also sometimes they do not go on properly or smoothly and it takes some fiddling to get to where you… Read more
