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.
Currently rereading my paperback Jeff Noon trilogy. Just finished Vurt, now on to Pollen,Nymphomation will be next. Fantastic and surreal, they are some of my favourites ever books.
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 ?!?
Decided to put Winter and Madrid aside last night, for the moment, and picked up another of Clavells Asian sage, King Rat. Good Read so far, yer man is very easy to read, going through it at a rate of knots! 🙂
The City and The City - China Mieville
Took a bit more getting into than the other stuff I've read of his but ticking the boxes now. 🙂
Not sure what to go for next. Will re-read this thread then.
