    Just done Ian McEwan's latest, What We Can Know. Much more readable than some of his stuff but no less worthy. Set 100 years on from now when all sorts of disasters have occurred it's almost a thriller but with intellectual/philosophical overtones, some of which went over my head I have to say. It's one that merits a second read imo.

    Read all his books one of the best authors around today. Saw the book when it first came out but needed a reminder to read it. Cant wait to finish reading junk i am reading at the moment-The Terminal List by Jack Carr. All guns and blood by an ex Navy Seal very popular by all accounts. But popular does not mean good. And I dont like the infered political bias.

    Also a big McEwan fan but have to admit that I’ve found some to be more enjoyable reads than others.

    Let me guess, the inferred political bias isn’t sufficiently left wing?
