The bedroom secrets of the master chefs - irvine welsh.

Pretty decent, fast moving, loads of cursing, scottish dialogue. About 2 guys trapped in a kind of voodoo doll tit for tat fight. It makes edinburgh sound like a horrible gaudy place. If you liked the acid house and trainspotting you'll be into this.

Finished:
Dante The Divine Comedy (I even read some of it in his pre-exile house and in the church he saw Beatrice for the first time)

Currently reading:

Reading The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen and dipping into On Purpose by Nick Laird.

This is an odd one, I know, but I just finished Sean Moncrieff's novel, 'The History of Things' (I think it was only published this week), and it was really, really good - which surprised me greatly because I never liked him on television. He should write full time.

Just finished 'The Serpent Of Stars' by Jean Giono and I've moved onto 'The Decline Of The West' by Oswald Spengler.

I finished this a few weeks ago, good book, funny in parts, but very bleak.

What, Irvine Welsh...bleak? Surely not.

Platform - Michel Houellebecq

Watching the Door - Kevin Myers

The Road - Cormac McCarthy.....stunning, possibly his greatest work.

XJR

The Broker - John Grisham - a reasonable yarn and something to do when I wake at 3am.

John Simpson - The Wars against Saddam.. Interesting read..

Finished "This Book Will Save Your Life" a while back and enjoyed it immensely. Very different but think its like marmite, you'll love it or hate it..

The Master by Bryan MacMahon.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6. *sigh*

Just finished Fields of Fire by James Webb. A very poignant book about the horrors and losses of the Vietnam war.

I'm about a third of the way through catch-22 after read it on and off for the last while. Apart from a few mildly humorous parts its doing absolutely nothing for me but I'm determined to finish it!
