"Far From the Sodding Crowd" by the lads behind the Framley Examiner, a great book of unusual and quirky places to go for a day out rather than the usual overpriced and overcrowded "attractions".

The Bridge, Iain Banks.  Loved a lot of his books back in the 90's but never got around to reading this one.  It's excellent.  There's certainly a few that I've never read, I don't read much fiction these days but it's reminded me of what a great author this guy is.

Never read any of his sci-fi novels though, anyone got any opinions about them?   ???

Really enjoying Bobby Gillespie's autobiography 'Tenement Kid', often funny, somewhat pretentious and full of hedonistic stories as is often the way with music autobiographies. 

I must check out more of Primal Scream's output, always enjoyed what I heard but there's a few albums I never bothered with...
