A good book and a good dump are two of lifes enjoyments, together, they combine to make an unholy force of good in my life.

Bought that the other day as it caught my eye. If I enjoy it I'll probably buy the other two in the series as well.

Bit of a slog, its interesting though - lots of attention to detail. Makes me wonder how accurate it is and how all the research was done

I read Elephants on Acid and other experiments this weekend while in Dublin. It was pretty good, actually CBS would love it (as will my wife), theres quite a lot of psychological experiments, and it makes for very interesting reading.

I also bought Danny Wallaces new book, so ill get that read this week.

Whilst I'm still persevering with American Psycho I needed something light on the brain so have also now started Heat Stroke by Rachel Caine - its book 2 of the Weather Warden series.

I read book 1 of of the Weather Warden series and thought it was blah, so wont be bothering with the rest.

American Pyscho was a book for its time, haven't read it for yonks but I suspect it wont resonate with todays culture now that the yuppie boom is long gone.
