Finished "Whoops! Why everyone owes everyone and no one can pay" by John Lanchester. An easy entertaining dissection of the factors that caused the global credit crunch. Explains the mysteries of derivatives and credit swap defaults in a clear-sighted way. Excellent .. ask someone to lend you some money to buy it !!

I'm only about 60 pages in but Levy's writing is almost hypnotic. I've never read anything of hers before so I have no idea whether this is her typical style, but it's beautiful.
I've read a lot of thrillers and romances lately so it's nice to read something completely different (it's all about the last years of slavery in Jamaica and the early years of freedom that followed). I think I'll give it a try. Started Early Took My Dog and Heartstone are both due out in paperback any day now. I just hope I can get them on a 3 for 2 offer. |

Just finished Even the Dogs by Jon McGregor, I've loved all his novels and this was no exception. It ws bleak and grim, but poetic and beautifully written IMO.
Just starting The Immortal life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. |

I'm reading Septimus Heap, Book 1.
Although for children I like these types of magical fantasy stories. This is free at the moment for Amazon Kindle. |

Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
Got my Kindle yesterday, and this is the first work I've begun to read on it (it was free, too). So far, so good. |

Sovereign by C.J. Sansom this is the 3rd in The Matthew Shardlake series. Cannot put these books down once I start reading them, fantastic storytelling.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Land of Mist". Not one of his better known tales, although it's one of his Professor Challenger stories.
His belief in spiritualism and life after death makes it rather embarrassing at times but it still manages to be both scary and occasionally very moving. |

No Way Down: Life and Death on K2, by Graham Bowley. Been waiting to get my hands on this account of three days on the mountain by various international climbing teams that ended in the the loss of life of many of them.

1000 Years of Annoying the French - Stephen Clarke.
Really enjoying it. Humoress and informative at the same time - I'm not sure exactly how historically factual it is, but it's not meant as a work of academic scholarship. |
