Steve Coogans autobiography, 'Easily Distracted'...

[Anna Woman von NRW]

Brother Odd - Dean Koontz. I've read a couple of the previous Odd Thomas books a while back and so I gave it a go - pretty readable as usual but nothing special at the moment.

Also reading This Changes Every Thing - Naomi Klein. Bit of a heavy old topic this one but she seems to be quite an engaging writer - we'll see if I make it through to the end

Not long finished 'Gone Girl' - enjoyed it.

Now re-reading Clive Barker's 'Weaveworld'

[c]

Seveneves  - Neal Stephenson.

In parts great, in parts long winded. Great storyline, but for once perhaps should have been split into two books

Now re-reading Clive Barker's 'Weaveworld'

That's a good one - as is Imagica

[Master Ray]

Imagica and Weaveworld are great... still think CABAL is my favourite...

[Anna Woman von NRW]

Remember the title Cabal but not anything else about it but hey I was probably stoned at the time 

His short story collections - Books Of Blood were damn fine too

Waging Heavy Peace.Neil Youngs autobiography.

[Wessexy Witch]

Counselling for Toads.

Text book twist on Wind in the willows, for my counselling course.

I'm currently (re) reading "When God Was A Rabbit" by Sarah Winman.  It's quite odd but very emotive; I think it's a book that you identify with if you have something dark inside you.  It's not a dark book but anyone who's experienced any sort of heartbreak or psychological difficulty will perhaps feel an impact. 

[Shush]

I am reading "Fighting the Kaiser's war, The Saxon's in Flanders 1914-1918". A very well researched in-depth study of of soldiers from Saxony who largely fought against the British lines. Personal accounts and memories.

[Anna Woman von NRW]

Finished Brother Odd - ok but nothing special.

Still going with This Changes Everything in small daily doses - lots of food for thought there.

Also started We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver and it's gripping stuff.

[Master Ray]

Stephen Kings new compilation of short stories, 'The Bazaar Of Bad Dreams'...

I have to say, I prefer his short stories / novellas to his full length-novels these days...
