rwgray writes "An Orange prize for Fiction judge, Lisa Jardine, has conducted a six month research project to find the 20 novels that have most inspired men over the decades or played a part in making them the men they are today. The 400 interviewees all worked in academia, arts, publishing and literary criticism. The result? Tolkein fares much better than Douglas Adams, winning 2-0"

O'Reilly informs us of their latest book, Open Source for the Enterprise (no, not the space ship. interesting thought, though...;-)
Open source software may be changing Information Technology, but making it
work for your company is more complicated than simply installing a copy of
Linux. If you're serious about using open source to cut costs, accelerate
development, and reduce vendor lock-in, you need to understand how open
source is different from commercial software and what responsibilities and
risks it brings.

Recommendation from Julie Rigby (Childrens books at Foyles):
Here is a book to look out for - it is a wopping 800 pages long hardback the size of a small text book. It has stunning artwork in it. I have not read the whole book yet but it looks quite good.
The book is called Farperoo and is a debut novel by Mark Lamb. It's a children’s/adult's crossover novel which I think will appeal hugely to fans of Pullman and Rowling. This is the first book in a series of several he is writing (this book alone is around 800 pages), and I really think this is something very special.
For more information or potentially a proof/review copy you can contact Nigel Eastman, or you can always drop into Foyles and get a proper copy, of course ;-)
