It's a new month... time for some new bug fixes!
While Matt is still working on harnessing the book data that we all have contributed to, and making it available for searches, he's also been rather busy fixing other things, and even adding some nifty little features.

Journal Entry 1 by shnedwards from Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom on Friday, March 8, 2013
This has taken me a looong time to read for two reasons:
1. It was my carrying-around book, which meant in practice that I only read it at the bus stop while waiting for a number 50 on Wednesday evenings.
2. It's HARD work. There's stuff about Irish history and politics. There's stuff about literature both classical and modern. There's stuff about trains. Yes, trains. In a combination of English, Irish, Latin, French and German. So, unless you're particularly erudite, you won't get a lot of the jokes. I'm not, so I'm rather ashamed to say that my favourite chapter was "Keats and Chapman", in which the two famous poets have all kinds of unlikely adventures for the sole purpose of providing a laboured, groan-making pun at the end.
