I actually feel quite dirty for reading it, which is some small consolation, I suppose.

Maybe the aliens will get the consultants in too, so you'll be well placed to cope with the new way of things

Having been on a training course delivered by McKinsey, I think the aliens probably are consultants.

I ground to a halt with the Andrić, can't seem to read much at the moment, but did read Anything But An Autobiography by Richie Benaud in the meantime. Not as interesting as it should have been, given the author.

I've ground to a halt, I've been trying to finish Moby Dick and have also picked up Midnight's Children, but now I can't really go on reading both and material I need to read for work. I've made reading a chore, so time for a complete break except for the work stuff.

Ah, but Hangover square is great for its capturing of gin palace daytime drunk, and 30W-lightbulb hotel noises. Slaves of Solitude does maybe edge it for containing the most brilliantly realised unbearable character - Mr Thwaites. Gorse I ain't so sold on, despite moments, and excellent Brighton and Reading shabbiness. Still, essential, for a particular kind of claustrophobic desperation. I can see the mass-produced stained glass around the draughty door and smell the mildewy social limits.
Loved Hangover Square, loved his idea that everything would be fine if he could just murder Netta nd move to Maidenhead.
Now reading Nigel Slater's Toast. Very endearing, quite inspiring although a bit twee at times.

17 by Bill Drummond. It's a strange book and not exactly gripping but pleasing nonetheless.

I started it months and months ago but I always used to read on the bus to and from work but now I drive I don't. Any other chance I get to read I end up reading for uni. Better late than never though and I love it in a bleak, tear out your heart kind of way.

He bought it for my birthday last year.
well then he gave it in love, and should respect your need to read it when YOU want
Christopher Nye, Maximum Diner: Making it Big in Uckfield
I've been meaning to read this for ages since it's said to be very funny. So far it is, and having lived in Uckfield bits of it are amusingly familiar too. I wonder if my brother will get a - anonymised - mention, since he was the Maximum Diner's delivery driver for a while...

I have that too
There's a photo of someone I know in the book as he was a cook there. I would say chef but this is the Maximum Diner we're talking about!I'm reading Eckart Tolle's A New Earth at the moment. Bloody hard going but very enlightening.

I must admit, I used to like the Maximum Diner.
It had a lot more character than most places in Uckfield and the food was usually pretty good too.

Those booths were bloody tight to get into though and even worse with a belly full of hashI must admit, I used to like the Maximum Diner.
