Hi, Val-

Sure, I'd be happy to have the review appear on nthposition, and I'd be interested in writing book reviews or anything else for Fortean Times. Do you generally assign books or do you prefer to be queried?

Thanks,

Barrett Brown

Dear Barrett,

Thanks for that. I’ll drop you a line when I put it up.

Generally I send books out according to people’s interests. What are yours? It’s always worth asking, though – I’m better at keeping an eye on UK books, so US ones can slip past me.

I had a good old wander round your blog – I loved the Darwin-shaped stain, and that Palin remark is priceless. She’s heartwarmingly stupid, bless her. Obama will struggle to put the mess right - http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/black_man_given_nations struck the right note!

Best,

Val
