Barrett,

Hope all's well. If they haven't already arrived, two copies of the latest
mag are en route to you with the 2012 review.

I don't want to overburden you, so feel free to tell me to back off if I'm
suggesting too many titles. Anyway, if you're interested/ have some spare
bile...

Gardiner is a treat, if you're in the mood - the syntax is uniquely awful,
and the ideas, for want of a better word, are badly expressed and ponderous
rubbish. (Not that I want to prejudice you against it...)

Braden is quite shockingly bad - the Earth twirling on its Axis, Rapture,
2012 and the rest, all described with unscientific brio. And Hay House has
never knowingly produced a reputable book, bless them.

I have more sensible books, but there's less scope for the mockery you excel
in...

Best,

Vx
