One of my favourite books ever
I just finished Feed by Mira Grant - a political zombie cyberthriller, if there is such a thing. Really good, actually.
Mars and the Development of Life by Anders Hansson. It's an interesting exploration about the possibility of life on Mars now and the possibility of terraforming the planet in the future.
I'm reading 'A Quiet Belief in Angels' by R J Ellory. It's a beautifully written, extremely good book.
Just finished reading Will Self's How the Dead Live. Got into this after reading his excellent (if you can understand the Mockney) Book of Dave.
How the Dead Live is funny, sad and a slightly warped re-imagining of modern society. I feel slightly embarrassed about enjoying this book , being a grumpy mature male my heart tells me this is a "used to be a chick" book best read with a box of kleenex to hand. But, Self's wit and cynical outlook really hit the mark for me on the two books mentioned.
Currently trying to get into his Great Apes, but finding it really hard.

Aberystwyth Mon Amour by Martin Pryce.
A private eye tale and a who done it.
It's Raymond Chandler meets The League of Gentlemen in Aberystwyth. The town is run by Druids in their sharp Swansea suites, hanging around the toffee apple dens, creaming all the profits from the speak easy rock emporiums and the 24hr whelk stalls.
Extremely bizarre, extremely unusual and extremely funny.

The Life and Times of The Thunderbold Kid - Bill Bryson
A journey through America's '50's as seen through the eyes of Bill Bryson growing up in Des Moines. Very enjoyable read so far.
