One has to celebrate these things when they happen, as they probably might not happen again. Information about the book is here if you’ve just surfed in.
Talking of celebrating today is the day when I slide another bead across the abacus of years. I will celebrate by riding my bicycle to Basildon. The celebrations will continue in the afternoon when I ride it back again.

Happy Birthday Dave! Try not to go too overboard with the celebrations now, you don’t want to overdo things at your age.
And congratulations on the book recommendation – in Piccadilly no less, what dizzy heights you’re scaling! I’d also like to say that I’ve read the book two to the left of yours (The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy) and yours is much better than that (I know the rest of the world loved TGoST but I really really really didn’t). Wild Swans (3 to the right) is very good however.

(Just thought, having now bothered to click on the link, that it may not actually be your birthday at all. In which case, carry on, don’t mind me…)
Wow that is so cool! Happy Birthday too!
Thanks Jack, thanks Sarah.
Jack – yes, sorry, should have been a bit clearer. It is my birthday.
Perhaps we could play ‘Connect 4′ on the picture above. The first person to have read any 4 books in a row horizontally or vertically is the winner. Perhaps we should start with ‘Connect 3′ or ‘Connect 2′ first.
May I add my sincere congratulations to those above on your reaching your xx birthday! * I’m not quite sure why we congratulate people on these occasions…I suppose you have avoided doing something so silly that it might terminate your life that’s good..
…really its congratulations that you have challenged and amused us for another year. May God give you many more.
* I am pretty sure that it is XX and not either X or XXX.
OK. Well, I have read Wild Swans and Silence of the Lambs. Also the Hobbit. Top right looks familiar but I can’t read the writing.
Can we play bingo instead?
Congratulations, that must be soooo cool seeing it on the shelf like that. Wishes and prayers for future success.
Happy Birthday, Dave! My son is 12 today. St David’s Day is a fab day for a birthday, full of the first hint of spring. Enjoy your cycling – take it slow and savour the daffodils. Did you have trouble spotting any last year? – they were really late here.
Congratulations on the Waterstone’s display. Any significance to being put next to ‘Things Fall Apart’? Reminds me that my husband reserved a book from the library called ‘Why Things Fail’, but when he went to pick it up, it wasn’t there.
Happy birthday! go on, reveal your XX….
feast muchly! are you partaking in LLLL? In which case have a lovely stroll around your neighbourhood with a friend – or is that your bicycling equivalent?

Happy Birthday.
Waddya know – I’ve read the same three as Jack – but I prefered God of Small Things to Wild Swans (though I did get to refer to Wild Swans in one of my final’s papers!). I laughed a hell of lot more at Guide to the Church though.
(I’ve also read the Hobbit)
I tried to read the Hobbit but found it too heavy going. In my defence I was probably only 12 or 13 at the time (so, about 10 *coughsplutter* or so years ago), but there was nothing in it that made me want to go back and try again.
Yay! Were I an employee, I’d recommend you, too.
Thanks everyone for your kind wishes. They were really appreciated.
Wow, almost on the same level than Bill Clinton… 
I get feeling that Tessa had something to do with that. Maybe not but how many christians work in Waterstone’s Piccadilly and link to your website??
Yesterday was the day when I finally got my hands on your book Dave. Based on this photo I decided that there must be some copies for sale at Waterstones in Picadilly. Indeed, there were 12, apparently, somewhere in the store. I found 2 of those and bought them. 10 left – get them while you can!
