This:

Which I can't really recommend enough. Wonderful book. Rather pathetically, I've resisted reading the last few pages... because if I do it will over.

Started this before getting distracted by the above:

Which I'm looking forward to going back to.

On the front it says "books I nearly read". I can jion in with that as in the past 6 months I've nearly read Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, Buddhism Without Beliefs, The Greatest Show On Earth and Bad Vibes.

Currently reading The Death Of Sweet Mister by Daniell Woodrell. Only 50 pages in, but really liking it. I'd recommend anything by him.

Other recent reads:

Please Kill Me by Legs McNiel & Gillian McCain an oral history of US punk. Virtually everyone in it comes across as really horrible, but well worth reading.

City Of Sin: London & It's Vices by Catharine Arnold.
A history of sex in London by the author of Necropolois: London And It's Dead and Bedlam; London And It's Mad.
The whole trilogy is very highly recommended.

I recently read "Das Boot", which was all kinds of good. Then I asked my missus to suggest one and she gave me "Pompeii " by Robert Harris which I also very much enjoyed. I'm currently reading "The Witches" by Roald Dahl, as chosen by my son.

Just finished Skagboys, the prequel to Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh. I didn't hold out much hope but actually it was really very good
