Re-reading the first four (and then going to read
the NEXT four) of the Shan Mysteries by Eliot Pattison. A chinese gulag prisoner, released in Tibet and helping the old Tibetan Lamas with various mysteries. Gripping stuff,if you know anything about Tibet and the chinese occupation of an ancient and gentle civilisation. |

Would just like to say that I've now finished 1984. Am glad to have finally read it but wow is it unremittingly depressing, especially the section in The Ministry of Love!
Obviously I knew its reputation before reading it but I definitely need to read something lighter/more upbeat now - think I might try The Return of Sherlock Holmes as haven't read that collection of little stories yet.

Just started The Missing and the Dead by Stuart MacBride, the latest crime story involving the long suffering Logan McRae and his hilariously un-pc boss DCI Steel. In this one, our hero is banished to the rural wilderness of Aberdeenshire and is coping with rural crime - shoplifting, a juvenile graffiti artist who is making political statements (painting willies on electoral posters) and wandering cattle. Then a body is found and McRae is up to his neck in it.

The Girl on the Train - Paula Hawkins
If you liked Into the Darkest Corner and Before I Go to Sleep then this is right up your street. I'm about 40% into it right now and it is a real page-turner. Got great reviews on Amazon and I can understand why. |

A Prisoner of Birth - Jeffrey Archer
Enjoyable but I didn't understand the mistaken identity part. Seemed a bit far fetched to me. Terrific court room scenes. |

Recently finished The Miniaturist. Can't remember author but I loved it.
Just started The Night Circus. Brilliant so far! Oddly enough, can't remember the author's name. :-P |

I've started reading Dead Man's Footsteps by Peter James (Roy Grace 4). I'm hoping that Peter James will have toned down his fascination with Brighton Mortuary in this one!
I'm going to start listening to the Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion, narrated by Dan O'Grady. A bit of light relief after Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki. |

Loved The Left Hand Of Darkness. Not my normal thing but really interesting. Great feeling of the cold and a fascinating look at a world without a constant sexual imperative. A lost gem.
Now on Pushkin's Eugene Onegin which is reasonably engaging if a little moribund in terms of prose.maybe it loses something in translation. |

The Hearing Trumpet by Leonora Carrington.
Shades of Alice in Wonderland, perhaps, but so warm and inventive. |

The Testament - John Grisham
Haven't read Grisham in ages, and this was very good. |
