Having just trawled through the Amazon’s December deals for Kindle books I ask again why I was born in this cursed month. Amazon UK, full of the sort of rubbish books people give each other as presents, with the prize perhaps being ‘The Dinosaur that Pooped Christmas’. Amazon US with an even greater proportion of its usual mix of self-help (Your Best Age Is Now: Embrace an Ageless Mindset, Reenergize Your Dreams, and Live a Soul-Satisfying Life) and, especially, Christian books (Clash of Kingdoms: What the Bible Says about Russia, ISIS, Iran, and the End Times; Uncensored: Daring to Embrace the Entire Bible; No God but One: Allah or Jesus? (with Bonus Content): A Former Muslim Investigates the Evidence for Islam and Christianity). Both of them featuring Amazon’s in-house self-published books which clutter up the site anyway, most of them seemingly by Jeff Wheeler who seems to be a David Eddings for the new century, and the rest by authors with names like Ripley Prosperina and RJ deBirmingham. And I will never read a book by anyone named Cecilia.
