Just started House of Chains by Steven Erikson. As usual, it's a question of trying to remember the ever increasing load of characters but I expect to get swept up in it, nevertheless.

Secret Diary Of A Call Girl - Belle De Jour
Quite entertaining and occasionally titillating, but far more chick lit/Sex In The City than I was expecting. Never saw the TV series but can see how that would work because it's much portrayed as much more pleasant and fun than the grimmer realities of the job might suggest.

I should have realised this, but the level of geographical detail in this is utterly arse numbing. Am making pathetic attempts at continuing to read it.
Celia Sanchez book got me all fired up, absolutely fantastic. So many achievements. My new hero
Now reading 'The Unwomanly Face of War' by Svetlana Alexievich, about Russian women's experiences in WW2.

Night at the Circus. Am quarter of the way through. It's BRILLIANT. Even the book design is amazing, like this box of magic
Love the Nesbo Harry Hole books. Formulaic but comfortingly so.
Orang Utan
Psychick Worrier Ov Geyoor
by Angela Carter?

No, got the titles muddled. It's actually The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.
The Angela Carter one's great too though

Knausgaard - My struggle - Book 1 - Enjoying it a lot, captures intensity of teenage life really well and there's plenty going on to keep you turning the pages.

Psychick Worrier Ov Geyoor
this is one of the reasons it's important to always mention the author of a book as well as the title
I read it last year and was similarly knocked out by it

I have read quite a few Rankin novels, they are suitably gripping enough to keep you at them and it doesn't seem to matter too much what order you read them in.

I think my library's got the lot. I've already got Hide And Seek lined up next. I'm intrigued by the ones with musical references on the title (Let It Bleed, Dead Souls).I have read quite a few Rankin novels, they are suitably gripping enough to keep you at them and it doesn't seem to matter too much what order you read them in.

Yes, my library has loads also, in fact it was often because I recognised Rankin as an author I could trust for an enjoyable read that I selected them again and again. I even took one out twice by mistake.
Should also try Mark Billingham because he writes thrillers well also.

Sorry to hear that, though you might have saved me a few quid!Aye (unlike the film, which was rubbish

I can heartily recommend the Norwegian versions of Headhunters and Jackpot though!

17 contradictions and the end of capitalism by david harvey
I've not read anything by him since brief history of neoliberalism and had forgotten that he has an engaging not overly dry style.
