    Christopher Hitchens, Arguably. Each essay a delicious morsel, alas we won't have more.

    Currently making my way through Julian Barnes The Sense of an Ending have to say I'm really enjoying it. It's exceedingly well written.

    Just finished "Death on the Ice" by Robert Ryan and would highly recommend it to anyone.

    One of those all to rare books where I was actually slowing down the reading pace near the end to prolong the enjoyment :).

    Would be interested to hear any recommendations for other books on the Antartic explorers...

    I'm looking begrudgingly across the room at V. by Thomas Pynchon. Considering I read The Crying of Lot 49 in one go, this one is hard to stick with. I'll give it another hundred pages and go from there.

    The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt. A great read so far, started it this morning, I think if I wasn't going out later I'd finish this today, it's one of those type of books.

    It's a cracking good read isn't it? Treated myself to it for Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed it.

    I'm half way through The Shack by William Paul Young. Not too sure about it so far. It was an impulse buy... I picked it up mostly because I was attracted to the pretty cover and didn't realise it was religious at the time but I'm keeping an open mind.
