21/12 The Pickwick Papers - Charles Dickens

Very French - a young woman has an affair, wanders round Paris, muses about love, is sometimes vaguely happy and sometimes vaguely unhappy, smokes cigarettes, someone attempts suicide. All feels familiar, but I enjoyed it a lot. Bourdouxhe's light touch and sharp observations, and a couple of surprising and effective shifts of perspective help lift it above cliche.

That was quite good...a sort of spy thriller set as the Berlin Wall is about to fall...I was thinking it was a bit predictable, then all of a sudden, it wasn't.

no gods, no malarkey
8/9 Hoffman, The Billion Dollar Spy. about Adolf Tolkachev. a bit long-winded, but it's spy stuff so i'm inclined to like it. also a bit patriotic, i don't mean the people in it, i mean the attitude of the author. it contains the followig nice bit: on his first meeting with his second CIA handler,
He handed Rolph a piece of paper. When Rolph looked down, he saw it was printed in English in block letters:
1. LED ZEPPELIN
2. PINK FLOYD
3. GENESIS
4. ALAN PARSONS PROJECT
5. EMERSON, LAKE AND PALMER
6. URIAH HEEP
7. THE WHO
8. THE BEATLES
9. THE YES
10. RICH WAKEMAN
11. NAZARETH
12. ALICE COOPER
Tolkachev wanted the CIA to obtain rock music albums for his son, Oleg. He had copied the names down by hand, although he apparently did not know them well. “My son, as many of his contemporaries in school, has a passion for Western music,” Tolkachev wrote. “Besides, I too, in spite of my age, like to listen to this music.”

Another one that's been lurking on my bookshelf for ages, glad I got round to it eventually. A useful look at the internal dynamics and external pressures which encouraged the accomodationist tendencies within the Black Power movement at the expense of more radical programmes. Part of the Adolph Reed orbit (who I should really get round to reading too), that lot have a few recent books out which maybe I'll tackle next year.
