Am racing through books at a rate of knots due to commute. Have done Black Swan Green, On Chesil Beach, Any Human Heart and some strange Italian crime book (translated) that I picked up in an odd book shop. All great for commuting.

Must go and get some more books this weekend. So what are you all reading?

What's On Chesil Beach like? I'm reading Reading Lolita in Tehran.

Did you notice with Black Swan Green that sometimes he would revisit scenes and change the description of them? Like Mrs Warninck's house (what was she called?) The first time her went it was beautiful, artisitic, exotic and the second time it was shabby, broken, almost ugly. I loved some of his descriptions.

And to your op, I am not reading anything but I want to so will be looking myself.

Have you ever read 'The restraint of beasts' by Magnus Mills. Dark, touch surreal, deadpan funny

Just finished the new Jonathan Kellerman. Very good, as usual.
