it's not a bad book tbh. it's an interesting period of history that he covers and i think it's well written.

Just started the new William Boyd, Ordinary Thunderstorms.
Is it Marseille or Toulon or somewhere that has the amphitheatre/cinema? That's a corker.

Think he was fairly sunk in drink, so the overall standard may not be quite what it was.Not got far yet
Great so far. Rich picking apart of household experience with some absurd imaginary stuff going on. Not a souffle, not a pudding. A fancy chocolate cake.
The columns are great, once you get the feel of them, and his Irish novel (parodying Irish novels) An Beal Bocht/The Poor Mouth is also fucking funny and kind of fascinating, as a very good translation into English of a great writer in English.He wrote them as Flann O'Brien, but wrote his newspaper columns under the name of Myles na gCopaleen. His real name, though, was Brian O'Nolan
Just didn't get him at all at first but now think he brilliant
had another crack at Mieville's The City & The City. lasted 150 pages, which is more than it deserved to be honest.
absolute wank. He's not the best prose writer at the best of times, but his characters and plots kind of obscure the fact. This has a toss plot, no decent characters and is DREADFULLY written.

I was reading one called Super.Naive but it was just a bit too flat, plodding along apparently going nowhere. Short reading though, I might come back to it. So now I've started When I Forget by Elina Hirvonen, again quite short snappy stuff butmore interesting, I have a feeling I might enjoy this one.
I will finish both of these books before I start More Than it Hurts You by Darin Strauss.
I really want to read that but I have a feeling I will either love it or rip it up. Top of the pending pile.

Just finished Michael J. Fox's autobiography (Lucky Man), was very well written, particularly when it comes to the Parkinson's side of things.
About to start on one of the Richard Morgan books that just arrived from Amazon (what's the one to read right after Altered Carbon?)
