|title= Cracking the Obesity Crisis
|rating= 1.5
|genre=Lifestyle
|summary= Any weight-related book, whether one that considers issues from a medical or sociological perspective, or one that provides advice on how to eat well or lose weight, whose opening pages feature ''fat people are basically insecure, unhappy people trapped inside very unattractive bodies'', ''Islamic people however are at an advantage as they do Ramadan and they are not overweight'', ''there is hope for overweight and obese people, but I don’t see a way back for the clinically aid [sic] morbidly obese'' and my personal favourite: ''as women’s hands are smooth and soft in many cases, females would be useful behind soldiers to be there as assistants to men quickly reloading magazines of bullets speedily'', any such book needs to provide an awful lot of valuable content in the pages that follow to have a chance of redeeming itself.

|title= How to Sound Cultured
|rating= 4
|genre= Lifestyle
|summary= Sometimes it can be hard to run with the big dogs, and while I know the names to drop in my field of work, some wider cultural references can pass me by. This is especially true for those from before my time and so I was delighted to find icons from all decades and centuries featured in this book. Badged as ''the 250 names that intellectuals love to drop into conversation'' this book features quotes and biographical titbits covering big names from every sector – science, the arts, philosophy.
