Currently reading- Cham by Jonathan Trigell, simply because Boy A was great (shame about the film) and Roundyhouse No.22, because its full of poetry and I have some work in there.

Things My Girlfriend And I Have Argued About - Mil Millington
(Very kindly lent to me by a WoMble )
Very much enjoying this book - a good level of sarcasm and irony to be found. Disturbingly close to my own life in a number of ways.
Good fun. With a hint of quiet desperation!
(Which is a good thing)

Read both The Chemistry Of Death and Written In Bone by Simon Beckett over christmas, the first one being good, the latter being ok except maybe one of the worst endings ever in crime fiction.
Right now I’m studying The Simpsons from a philosophical point of view

Just started reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini , his second novel after The Kite Runner.
One of my friends is stationed in Afghanistan and it’s a good read about the local life under the Taliban there.

Haven’t started it yet but have been told it’s a very good read.

I hope a certain percentage from the sale of each copy goes towards the Philanthropists’ Trouser Replacement Scheme.

I’ve read some of his short stories which are great - though sometimes I find him a bit difficult to understand. The man has a brain the size of a small planet.
