Will begin The Poisonwood Bible by B Kingsolver later this evening, if it's as good as The Lacuna I'll be happy.

Finished Kevin Barry's "Dark Lies the Island" a few days ago. Wow, what an excellent series of short stories. Maybe the best ones I've read since William Trevor. Would really recommend.

Am just about to finish Martin Amis's "Lionel ASBO". Again, would heartily recommend it. Although it sounds like a classist narrative (council-housed career criminal wins £150m in the Lottery), it's actually about a lot more than that. Also, while Amis is quite a divisive character, I don't think could question his ability as a writer - there are some amazing, amazing pieces in this novel.

On the George Orwell theme, I just finished "Down and Out in London and Paris", loved that book.

This evening I finished "The Man in the High Castle" by Philip K. Dick. I'm half way through "Other People's Money" by Justin Cartwright, and "Arguably" by Christopher Hitchens.

Sorry, but I read a lot! Once I start a book, I find I have to finish it.....eventually.

Going to take a break from the brilliant Flashman series to finish the Millennium trilogy with The Girl who Kicked the Hornets' Nest

Started Eclipse by Richard North Patterson today ... going well so far

[Belle E. Flops]

I started House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski.

I've been meaning to read it with months because it's written unlike any book I've ever read before. Some pages have only a few words, some have only a few sentences, some sentences are written upside down, mirror writing etc.

This is the description on Amazon

'Johnny Truant wild and troubled sometime employee in a LA tattoo parlour, finds a notebook kept by Zampano, a reclusive old man found dead in a cluttered apartment. Herein is the heavily annotated story of the Navidson Report.

Will Navidson, a photojournalist, and his family move into a new house. What happens next is recorded on videotapes and in interviews. Now the Navidsons are household names. Zampano, writing on loose sheets, stained napkins, crammed notebooks, has compiled what must be the definitive work on the events on Ash Tree Lane.

But Johnny Truant has never heard of the Navidson Record. Nor has anyone else he knows. And the more he reads about Will Navidson's house, the more frightened he becomes. Paranoia besets him. The worst part is that he can't just dismiss the notebook as the ramblings of a crazy old man. He's starting to notice things changing around him . .'

I have to say that from the first few lines I read I've been intrigued. I can tell this is going to be a hard one to put down. Really enjoying it so far.
