Tigerman by Nick Harkaway is on my desk, 336 pages, about to start it.
Enjoyed immensely.
I think the perfect book is…
The Attrocity Archives by Charles Stross and then the rest of the “Laundry Files” books.
Sci-fi/horror/urban magic/spy written with a sense of humour
I’ve just finished ‘The Rhesus Chart’ which is his latest ‘Laundry’ book – enjoyable, but from his blog posts it appears he’s moving to a more ‘ensemble’ writing style instead of focusing on Bob, and that reflects it. Still, intelligently-written knockabout fun for geeks – what more could one want?
I was stuck on a delayed/cancelled train last night with no book, no mobile signal and my laptop, and thankfully I had a Kindle app downloaded on the lappy which had (for some reason not fully understood by me) only downloaded the Fuller Memorandum. It kept me sane for the 3 hours I was stranded.
