		<description><![CDATA[Like many American boys, I grew up watching superhero cartoons on Saturday mornings. Among them were the programmes that featured &#8220;The Justice League of America&#8221;: Superman, Batman, Aquaman and Wonder Woman were all present and each week they battled Lex Luthor and his minions. My favourite character was the Green Lantern: I not only admired [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I open this review with a bit of a confession. When the last book in the Harry Potter series was released, I was out at midnight in my town, queued around the corner to get into Waterstones. My ex-girlfriend had introduced me to the books; prior to her suggestion, I&#8217;d been reluctant to embrace something [...]]]></description>

Faber and Faber 2010, Hardcover, 448 pages, &#163;4.99 It&#8217;s rare to see anything brave or daring emerge from a mainstream publisher these days.

It&#8217;s usually at the point that one decides to cut back that chocolates, cakes and cookies seem to lay in wait in supermarkets and farmers markets, ready to pounce upon one&#8217;s tastebuds.

		<description><![CDATA[Capitalism Michael Moore (Primary Contributor). Paramount Home Entertainment 2010, DVD, &#163;3.06 I am not a big fan of Michael Moore&#8217;s work. This isn&#8217;t because of a big difference in political outlook, but rather, it&#8217;s because he suffers from a condition endemic in Hollywood: a tendency to oversimplify. I do understand that the market he is [...]]]></description>

Granta Books 2010, Paperback, 272 pages, &#163;10.94 If there was a competition for the &#8220;most pointless&#8221; country in the world, North Korea would be a strong contender.

Viking 2010, Hardcover, 816 pages, &#163;20.00 I bought this tome shortly after its publication; however, I didn&#8217;t get around to reading it until I had to contend with less than optimal circumstances.

		<description><![CDATA[Movies about the apocalypse are commonplace. Late last year, audiences were &#8220;treated&#8221; to the latest in a long line of films which contemplated the end of the world, namely &#8220;2012&#8243;, which was based on a ridiculous misinterpretation of the Mayan calendar. Like many of its ilk, it was little more than a demonstration of advanced [...]]]></description>
