Re: What book you reading at the moment?
I've just finished 'Meat' by Joseph D'Lacey..............one of the most compelling but disturbing books I have ever read.
 Now reading The Face by Dean Koontz for a little light relief after Meat.

Re: What book you reading at the moment?
I don't really do much reading, but over Christmas I read Motorcycle Roadcraft.
When I do read it tends not to be fiction. Autobiographical accounts of people who do adventurous things are my cup of tea. |

Re: What book you reading at the moment?
1610: A Sundial in a Grave by Mary Gentle. It's not as good as I remember, alt-historical drama with some interesting twists, sort of like Neal Stevenson's Baroque Cycle. But because it's Mary Gentle, stuff happens for no apparent reason, characters' motivation is frequently inexplicable, and there's ALWAYS a woman who dresses as a man, or a man who dresses as a woman.
Still, it's alright. Her Ash: A Secret History was almost very very good, except she blew it a bit trying to be too clever/alternative.
