    May I recommend Dividing the Great on kindle

    My Time – Brad on a real book, that’s my current bog book.
    Next bog book will be Dune which I’ve read before but I fancy another read of it.

    On the kindle
    The Keep by a recommendation on here, thanks for that. it’s a good book.
    The second science fiction megapack 25, these are really good. Very cheap, lots of short sci-fi stories. Some real gems in there.
    The Game: Undercover in the Secret Society of Pickup Artists – funny book, interesting.

    Queued up on the kindle are
    Cornbread
    UnLunDun
    Slabscape: reset

    Just read all of the Berlin Noir books by Philip Kerr. As the name suggests, film noir style detective novels set in 1930s Berlin. Got about another 20-30 books queued up on the Kindle but quite fancy finishing The Stranger by Camus next.

    Currently reading A Blink of the Screen – a collection of Terry Pratchett’s earlier writing, which I’m struggling to get through.

    Before that was A Young Atheist’s Handbook by Alom Shaha, which I enjoyed. Not particularly in-depth but nice to read from a ‘Muslim’ perspective.

    I picked up For The Win by Cory Doctorow for 25p and thoroughly enjoyed that.

    Prior to that I reread Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching books (The Wee Free Men, etc.) which were as excellent as I remember, and look like Mint Sauce cartoons in my head.

    Coming to the end of Kieron Smith, Boy by James Kelman. Written with a 10 year old boy’s narrative, on the gentler end of Kelman’s vernacular scale. Curiously enjoyable, in the way most of his novels are, without being scintillating in the way his best ones are.

    Next up is either The Blue Book by AL Kennedy or Gilead by Marilynne Robinson, while I wait for Alan Warner’s The Deadman’s Pedal to appear in paperback.

    Paper books. Not opposed to e-readers, just don’t have one.

    HMS Ulysees – Alistair MacLean – paperback, awesome read, especially for someone in the RN like myself.
    Needful Things – Audiobook for my weekly long commute – read by Stephen King himself, good fun.

    “Just into ‘Obsessive Compulsive Cycling Disorder’ Uncomfortable reading it and recognising elements of yourself! Great read!”

    I got this for Xmas… really rather good… more of a pick up/put down type of thing. I will not be reading from cover to cover… but recommended…. STW gets a mention more than once, but that might be a good thing or bad ?!?
