Recent in the world of books...

I have time to read! It's wonderful, if a little strange. So...

I read 'Under the Net' by Iris Murdoch the other day. It's lovely. I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind a little bit of waffle, but eventually getting to something incredibly insightful. 

A book that I used a lot for my Final Major Project was Mark Borthwick's 'Not in Fashion'. Borthwick is a wonderfully original photographer, and the book was a great inspiration in terms of it's art direction and concept. 



I picked up Nedko Solakov's '99 Fears' in Urban Outfitters the other day. Seriously, Urban Outfitters are great for getting really cheap art books. '99 Fears' was only around a fiver! It's something that's lovely to just dip into now and again. The quirky illustrations are accompanied by amusing notations at the bottom of the page.
