Credulousness

Having just mentioned that a book’s review in today’s Guardian has stirred me to add the book in question to my "to be read" list, I should perhaps counterbalance that with the observation that a positive review is not the only criterion. Elsewhere in today’s Guardian Review, Sue Arnold gushes with praise for a book by Patrick Holford, but I’m certainly not going to follow her advice and add his book to my list. For the reasons why, read this.
