    Catch-22 by Joseph Heller - bought it ages ago but never got around to reading it, but after hearing loads of great things about it on here I finally picked it up. Superb book, absolutely hilarious and utterly confusing!! I didn't want it to finish...

    Fantastic book ... I thought it read like an episode of M*A*S*H

    The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen - this story about a dysfunctional family from mid western America is well written and flows really nicely. It is depressing at points, but also funny and insightful.

    The Invisible Man by HG Wells

    :eek: exactly a month since I've updated this! Lots of travelling, but it's been for work so laptop is in use more than books/eReader...

    Hi guys, just a note: this is xebec's reading log. Comments and questions about the books (s)he's been reading are welcome, as noted in the Reading Logs forum charter (though obviously it's not compulsory that any questions are actually answered, it's the forum member's own reading log).

    However, if you're just listing books you've read yourself, you're welcome to start your own log personal log of your very own. That means clicking the "new thread" button in the Reading Logs forum:) What the forum is for is quite simply explained in the Reading Logs forum charter (it's a very short read and after all, you're all readers anyway).

    A Week in December by Sebastian Faulks

    Great read. Simple enough book but enjoyed the way Faulks intertwined the characters lives.

    Been a LONG while since I updated it. Mainly been reading running books and other manuals so haven't been including them on here...

    Transition by Iain Banks

    First Banks book I've read, struggled to get through it. Only really started to grab my interest in the last quarter.
