What did you like best about The Lie Tree? What did you like least? Good story, mediocre writing, annoying reader For the most part Emilia Fox read this ludicrous tale with reasonable enthusiasm, but why on earth did she give little Howard such a horrible ickle cutesy wootsy voice? My teeth still hurt thinking about it and I will fastidiously avoid books containing children in the immediate future. He was such a monumentally horrible man, that if I were Faith I would find it hard to wipe the grin off my face after hearing of his demise. Was it murder or was it suicide? To be honest I didn’t really care. Faith is a young repressed Victorian woman investigating the death of her secretive clergyman/naturalist father. I had a strong sense that there was a good idea amongst all the ponderous detail but getting to it felt like trying to pluck a prawn from a lobster shell. You know that feeling you get when you click on a link on the internet and then you get the dreaded circle of death going interminably round and round and round …… Well this is the feeling I got when listening to this story.

Riverdale is an American supernatural horror crime drama television series based on the characters of Archie Comics. The big question: is this still my favourite book? Yes.

Animal Farm is a book I often think about and often quote, and it was a bit nerve-wracking to go back to it to see if it actually lived up to everything I had built it up to be. I knew a reread needed to happen right away, but it took me four years to finally get around to it when my boyfriend gifted me this beautiful illustrated edition. I first read this in Grade 11 and decided it was my favourite book. For instance, HIV is a type of transposon. (The word "transposon" dates from those years.) They were discovered to be of fundamental importance. But in the 70s transposons were rediscovered in bacteria and other organisms. Furthermore, McClintock was just a terrible, terrible writer. Even I, a card-carrying geneticist, find genetics papers among the most difficult to understand. That was partly because she was a woman, but it was also because her work was difficult for her contemporaries to understand. Although The Nobel Committee often takes a long time to recognize important work, this was a longer gap than usual. Barbara McClintock (1902 - 1992) won the Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for work she began in the 1940s on what we now call transposons - mobile genetic elements, "jumping genes", in maize (what in the USA we usually call "corn").
