Am just finishing The good man Jesus and the scoundrel Christ by Phillip Pullman. Easy to read and very interesting.
What books have other people got their noses in at the moment?

The Fear, writtehn by a journalist who was in Zimbabwe at the time of the last general election when Mugabe lost but refused to give up power, is very harrowing reading at times but very necessary to read.

Quite fancy the Pullman in a sort of 'I'm an atheist, wonder what he's got to say' kind of way.

I am reading an overly long and very strange mystery-thing, narrated by 'Wilkie Collins' about 'Charles Dickens' - called 'Drood'. It is beyond bonkers but strangely compelling.

Have seen The last 10 seconds in the book shop, is it worth a read? Am going to start Alentejo Blue by Monica Ali tonight.

I have just finished "Any Human Heart" which I loved. I haven't seen the ITV version as abroad but sounds like it didn't live up to the book.

I have just started the latest Simon Kernick "The Last 10 Seconds". It is very violent.
