Child 44 by tom rob smith
and neverwhere by neil gaiman.

Dead Men Risen - interesting, although not brilliantly written and confusingly redacted account of the Welsh Guards in Afghanistan. Towards the end of the book there's a quote something like: "when the British encountered an IED, they'd spend hours painstakingly trying to defuse it; the US Marines who replaced them would simply blow it up as quickly as possible" which is something that's been puzzling me, why we put our bomb disposal experts at risk like that.

Land of Fire - crappy action thriller from a pile of books given us by someone, I stopped half-way through after a couple of pages of rape-is-love BS. Seriously f*****g wrong; it'd been predictable shit-but-readable up to that point.

Admiral Hornblower, on with this now. Might look for Stranger in a Strange Land when I finish this one.

The Summoning
The Awakening
The Reckoning

Are three great books ive read every single one of them the author of the books is Kelley Armstrong

I've started so many books. I always move onto other things. I guess I'm a mood reader. I want to start on Stephen King's Dark Tower series before the movies come out. I read the first two over a decade ago, but I probably need to start over and actually finish the series. I wish Clive Barker would release something new, both his adult novels and young reader series ABARAT.

John. Dies. At. The. End.

Kant by Roger Scruton

"Hard Times" Oral history of the great depression - Studs Terkel

Finished Admiral Hornblower. He has some interesting character traits.

Will probably read The Last Four Things next, which just arrived - quite liked the first book but have already forgotten half the plot, there was an oddly familiar battle and something about angels. Waiting for The Mote In God's Eye and something else whose name I've forgotten - Atrocity Archives, that's it - that was also in el Reg's list of unmade skiffy films.

I've been on a Terry Pratchett binge. I'm reading "Making Money" now.

Has anyone read Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis? I'm thinking about reading that, it sounds really good.
