People who wear glasses (probably a large percentage of readers over 40) also have trouble with such things when balancing an apparatus on their noses when turning their heads. O have been put off by this often. Yes, that Star of David arrangement of the railway tracks is genius and so very poignant.<br />Cheers<br />LorriAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411926950629107947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264965526853735683.post-63839263837674556792013-10-17T06:36:00.443+01:002013-10-17T06:36:00.443+01:00Personally, re: _Weaponized_, I am more put off by...Personally, re: _Weaponized_, I am more put off by the way it is imprinted on the book--for some reason I just really dislike sideways words on books, especially on front covers. When you mention the "z" I'm thinking you mean as opposed to "s"? My guess would be since the author is American then the word is spelled the way he spells it? I'm not exactly sure of the standard re: such things; for instance I have seen (in British publications) "Pearl Harbour." Although that's the British spelling of this common noun, as a proper noun it seems it should be spelled without the "u" even in British publications, since "Pearl Harbor is an American harbour." So you bring up a good point and I'd be interested to find out, if anyone knows, more on this "tidbit." <br /><br />Re: the other books I am so on the same page with your assessments--the very first struck me as so perfect, the Star of David being the first association that came to mind. And the last book--yes! Why in the world such a stereotypical, unimaginative cover image for a book entitled _Watching You_?Lisl Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00927191956944759219noreply@blogger.com
