UK Reading Habits
An interesting piece by Kathryn Hughes in the Guardian on the reading habits of UK library patrons reveals that they are quite similar to those on this side of the Atlantic:
The latest figures released from the Public Lending Right (PLR) show that, despite all the hectic johnny-come-lately excitement of Dan Brown and Ian Rankin, the three queens of the library service - Josephine Cox, Danielle Steel and Catherine Cookson - are still pretty much as popular as ever. These stately ladies do not do crossover titles, nor do they chase the holy grail of the children's market, so admirably catered to by those other library high-fliers Jacqueline Wilson and JK Rowling. In fact, they don't do much in the way of marketing at all. Cookson died in 1998 at the age of 92, and Cox and Steel, who are 69 and 60 respectively, prefer to pour their energies into their writing rather than hauling themselves around on sapping promotional tours.

I’m Charles David by name, i want to use this medium to alert all loan seekers to be very careful because there are scam everywhere, Few months ago I was financially strained, and due to my desperation I was scammed by several online lenders. I had almost lost hope until a friend of mine referred me to a very reliable lender called Dr Purva Pius ( A God fearing man) who lend me a loan of $237,000 under 72 working hours without any stress. I explain to the company by mail and all they told me was to cry no more because i will get my loan from this company and also i have made the right choice of contacting them i filled the loan application form and proceeded with all that was requested of me and to my shock I was given the loan, If you are in need of any kind of loan just contact him now via: {urgentloan22@gmail.com}
