And, as someone else who's done the same, let's burst your bubble for a moment: book reviews in academic journals don't mean shit. They're pretty much just CV padding, writing/dealing with journals practice for grad students, or something the journal sticks at the back to make its pages come out to a multiple of 16. Any fool can write one—Hell, they let me do it!—since all that's required is someone handing you one of the fifteen thousand books a journal's office gets every week and you writing some BS about something pretty much nobody else (especially the people who let you write the review) will ever read.
So don't act like you're special for doing something I'd reckon more than a few people here on the Ship have done.

I expect you probably have, but that isn't really what the book thread is about. It's not really about posting frequent reviews of what you read for work, or something you've been asked to read, or something you've been paid a fee for reading. It's more about what you read for pleasure and what's made a particular impression on you. We could probably all post about what we read because we have to, or what we read for work, and it would likely make for some pretty uninspiring reading, worthy though it is.
Go on, read something frivolous for a change. It'll do you good.

A Premiership Footballer's Dog barked at me once. I don't know why, the telescopic zoom lens was none of its business ...
I also once met someone who was so ignorant he'd never even heard of leo. But he's not worth bothering about, because he had different views from leo on Judaism and Islam, and was therefore obviously an Islamophobic anti-Semite.

Apparently Southwest Airlines has instructed its agents to do this when someone demands immediate service, saying, "Do you know who I am?" The agent takes the microphone and announces, "There is a man here who does not know who he is. If anyone can identify him, please come to the Southwest desk." Naturally, the self-important individual wilts.
My son-in-law saw this happen once, and I have heard the same story from others.

Amusing clip. However, to be pedantic, all the students would have failed on a technicality were it in England or Wales, since the exam boards stipulate that the students must remain seated, in silence, while the invigilators collect all scripts directly from their desks. Only then may they leave the room - in silence.

That would only, once again, bring me to ask the question:

Presumably these Amazon reviews and peer-reviewed journals are submitted under your real name.
I certainly don't know that and would expect others are in the same boat.

BTW, I think more of you would look up to me if you knew that I was the page-turner for the organist at Dwight Eisenhower's funeral, at the National Cathedral. Any number of truly important people were there, and none of them made even a hint of bad comment about my performance.

No - as the Archbishop was saying to me in Synod yesterday - UK exams must ALWAYS be carried out in accordance with best practice regulations - as I sit on the exam board's regional under-sub-sub-sub-commmittee I have some experience of these matters.

Close. An Invigilitor is the person who sits in the exam room and makes sure you don't cheat. They also collect your exam and return it to wherever exams go.
That's the theory anyway. I had one Invigiliator who left the room in the middle of a math exam I was writing. I then saw him through the window, looking in while smoking a cigarette.
