Books

^^^^ kill this infidel.

 

I'd say this but must have about fifteen times on here already so cba!

 

Anyway, I've brought Galveston by Nic Pizzolatto away with me.

He wrote/screenplayed the original True Detective so hopefully it'll be good.

 

Did you read Desperation Road?

I thought it wasn’t too bad. Well written.

 

Yeah, I did.

Was a filler until Winslow's final Cartel book is out in paperback.

Was a good read.

 

Just finished Chris Brookmyre's latest offering Fallen Angel. Was pretty good actually. Feel he'd lost his way a bit in some of his recent a books and gets a bit geeky with computer hacking or gets into the realms of sci fi which I'm not a fan of. This one was much more like it.

Now reading the new Haruki Murakami which will be heavy going I suspect.

 

Tel lives in Reading ...

 

That's a bad sign. They say an unfinished book is a messy mind.

 

I prefer escapism if I've got a lot of time for reading ... like on hols.

Last year during our couple of weeks in France I downloaded books I had read back in the 1970s / early 80s - the saga of the exiles by Julian May (a bird) .. first one is The Many Coloured Land ... still fookin brilliant and sure to be made into a film one day.

Without giving too much away, it is set in the future where earth is part of a galactic hegemony where some individuals may have developed metaphysical attributes to a greater or lesser degree - but there are those that crave a simpler life - either because they are criminals or simply just disillusioned with modern life - one alternative to a life in prison, the death penalty or just carrying on, is 'exile' - stepping through a time portal located in France that will transport you to earth's Pleistocene epoch where you can live out your days ... then the fun begins. Fabulous books, would thoroughly recommend.

 

****ing hell.

 

I realise you would prefer short stories mate... but my post was aimed at higher intellects ... and metric height ...

 

I'd be willing to bet £5000 I have a better education than you.
