The art of looking sideways

I love books and I love to read. I try to read from every category; naturally I have my favourites. One of these, from my own humble library, is The art of looking sideways, by the late Alan Fletcher. The book is like a hardcover curiosity cabinet. Fletcher says the book “has no thesis, is neither a whodunnit nor a how-to-do-it, has no beginning, middle or end. It’s a journey without a destination.” It’s full of trivia, quotes, anecdotes, images and random thoughts. Open a page at random and peer into the mind of Alan Fletcher. At over 500 pages it will be a long time before I tire of this gem.
