This eclectic gallimaufry showcases his favourites: we witness the tragic ends of the Ancient Greek tragedians, learn the name of George Orwell's pet cockerel and rummage through Joan Didion's travelling bag; we consider the history of literary fart jokes, orbit the Shakespearean moons of Uranus and meet several pigs with wings. From the sublime to the ridiculous - and everything in between ­- Eliot's lists, recommendations and nuggets of trivia will delight, inspire and surprise anyone who loves reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeautifully presented with supplementary maps and illustrations,\u003ci\u003e Henry Eliot's Book of Bookish Lists\u003c\/i\u003e is the essential gift for book-lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Deliciously idiosyncratic\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e' - Observer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Reading this book is like going on a literary Grand Tour . . .
