Question What are you reading?

[MK Shrimper]

Oh, no, not that trick. Kindles are evil sods for "oh, look, that's going cheap, and so's that, and that and that" and before you know it you've spent a fortune on books!

Oh no, just one at a time, 99p or not!

Don't read that quick mate so one book will do me for a few weeks.

Slowcoach. Reading age of 18 in year six, the only thing that slows me down is A Song of Ice and Fire.

Don't commute so don't get the chance really.

Fairy snuff. I do little else, it seems, at times, so it's quite nice to settle in on the bus with podcasts and books, the odd game of solitaire.

or you could join a library. controversial i know. I have 10 books on loan at any one time normally.

I live in a backwater in Gloucester. I'm lucky if it has one book worth reading.

Remembered I had Dorothy Must Die on the tablet. It's basically "Dorothy Gale went evil and took over Oz". Pretty good so far... explains the ridiculous winds today as well...

MERP MERP! That episode where he ran away needs to die in acid and fire.

(Anyone know if there's any Pingu books? Never saw any when I was younger but it wouldn't surprise me).

The Road, by Cormac McCarthy. So far, so brilliant.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Sounds good. My wife and are going to see Billy Bragg at The Union Chapel on Tuesday week. I may use that opportunity to drop some Christmas hints...

Should be a great gig.:thumbsup:Hopefully it'll turn up on the box soon.

Just got his Still Suitable for Miners autobiography yesterday.Looks like a good read too.

The Road, by Cormac McCarthy. So far, so brilliant.

It is excellent.Though that scene (as in the film) is hard to take.

It is. I can't get on with any other McCarthy books but The Road left a definite imprint.

My Life on a special Team - Steve Tasker. Excellent.

Know what you mean though I enjoyed No Country for Old Men after seeing the film.

Been lent a copy of Child of God and I'll give that a whirl when I can, though it doesn't really look like my sort of thing.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Just started Andrew Collins' biography of Billy Bragg:Still Suitable for Miners.

Looks like a good read.

 

[londonblue]

Just started The Girl in the Spider's Web.

It'll be interesting to see what David Lagercrantz has done with it.

 

[Pubey]

Blood Meridian is great.

****ing hell. Shouldn't have finished The Road ahead of a day at work, I feel shattered now.

When you refer to *that* scene, there were at least three bits that I found particularly harrowing (but superbly delivered by the author). To which are you referring?

Finding all those people trapped in the cellar

  Spoiler:  

Catching the bloke who stole their cart and forcing him to strip at gunpoint and leaving him to die
