    Building Machine Learning Systems with Python, it’s bloody thrilling I can tell you.

    I try not to read too many fiction books as they tend to totally absorb me and I then spend every spare moment reading the book instead of eating or the like.

    EDIT: actually after I finish the above, I’m going to reread World War Z

    Currently re-reading William Gibson’s Hubertus Bigend trilogy; read Pattern Recognition, currently just over half-way through Spook Country, to be followed at some point next week by Zero History.
    Love Gibson’s books, particularly these three, this’ll be the fourth or fifth time I’ve read them.
    Reading them on my iPad, but I have the original first edition hardcovers too.

    Wool trilogy is ace, waiting for book 3 to appear on audible. Currently reading (listening to) Neil Gaimans “Neverwhere”.

    It’s ok. That’s about as much as I can say. American Gods is better though.

    @ coolhandluke – I’ve just started the sixth book in the Wool books and they’re very good but isn’t First Shift book number 6 ?

    Just finished: Charlotte Higgins Under Another Sky: Journeys in Roman Britain – brilliant.

    Just started: Richard Jefferies Landscape with figures.

    Halfway through Where The Bodies Are Buried by Chris(topher) Brookmyre. I think I prefer him when he’s unhinged.

    Teach Yourself Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which is interesting. Also reading Newton’s Wake by Ken Macleod which is interesting and fun. Not unlike his pal Iain M Banks.

    The Killing Floor ( the 1st Jack Reacher novel) thought I’d see if they’re worth getting into. Can’t say they are tbh, seems very basic as far as decent stories go.

    Agree with Mr Hoppy – I’m struggling with the first Reacher novel as well. Finding it very mundane. Just finished “the Beating of his Wings” last book of The Left Hand of God trilogy – a series that consistently went down hill after the first book. Now reading “Kill anything that moves” about the Vietnam war by Nick Turse. Amazing and appalling – telling the real story of the millions of South Vietnamese the Americans slaughtered. You can never look at another american film about Vietnam without realising what lying bastards they were/are about what really happened in Vietnam.

    @sausagefingers – I didn’t realise the individual books were split into mini books until a while ago. I’ve listened to “Wool” and “Shift” and I’m waiting for “Dust” (I think it’s called), well worth the £7 I paid.

    If you have got the next books though I’ll take you up on the offer. I can swap you for my embarrassingly eclectic assortment of zombie related fiction or hillbilly related deep south crime thrillers…

    (Or deep south related zombie fiction)

    Re-reading Feersum Endjinn by Iain M Banks for the second time after a gap of about 15 years. Enjoying it much more this time around.

    I enjoyed Feersum Endjin much better the second time, much easier to follow the odd syntax.

    MR James.
    Even scarier when you know how they all end.
    Right weather and season for it too.

    Might give ‘Salems Lot’ a pop next. Not read it for 20 years but I loved it as a kid.

    Good idea. Never got on with it and gave up.
    I’ll give it another go.
