This fortnight's books and more, unfairly (or sometimes fairly) neglected, or simply those the reviewers below think you might find of some interest (or, infrequently, you should be warned away from); certainly, most weeks we have a few not at all forgotten titles...if I've missed your review or someone else's, please let me know in comments. Hope to not skip any more weeks soon, as this is a huge file even for 14+ days...the malady bugs are persistent and have been difficult to get around.
