Have started Spook but its not an "easy" read - what I might do is read it at home (bathtime book) and start something else for my bus journeys.

Still reading the Hogfather too - I keep forgetting about it and taking a different book to bed with me

And as I didn't get an answer before (

) Dym - weren't you gonna lend me a book? :undecided:

I don't have American Psycho

Sam - do you want to read American Psycho - could've brought it to NYE for you doh! Can send if you want!

Just finished a book I nicked from Pebs on NYE - 'Ps I Love you' - Cecilea Ahern.

Started off quite well (I know this by the amount of times I gasped 'oh no/gasp/cried' on the train while reading it).

Then it got predictable... and then the ending was a bit meh.

As a reminder - Pebs please bring Dead Run to Burbles non bday thanks!

I've started reading Phil Rickman again. He's a horror writer and writes about the Mid Wales/Hereford area so I get a real feel for it as I've lived in lots of the places he describes.

I love curling up in bed in the winter with a good horror story.

I've just read the first three volumes of "War of the Spider Queen", a Forgotten Realms series, and have just started rereading one of my all time favourite comedies - Tom Sharpe's "The Throwback"

Just finished A Brief History Of Time by Stephen Hawking, and it was an amazing book. His ability to explain these complex theories using real analogies and comparisons truly allows people like me to see and appreciate the nature of our universe. It's a hard read, some chapters are quite deep and you do need to be patient with yourself, but if you take your time and re-read parts you're unsure of, then it begins to come together.

Now on to two books this month;

Having a break from the intellectual reading and have opened up Mick Foley's autobiography. He's an interesting, if not strange man, but he's had some experiences and he really has a child like wonder when reading about them which keeps you whittling through the pages to read the next story.

Then after that, I'm going to have a read of a book my colleague has lent me: Galileo's Finger by Peter Atkins. Goes into theories of the universe, DNA structure and the deepest parts of human psychology and existential behaviour.
