The Shining by Stephen King - it keeps going on and on. If none of the three main characters die at the end of this I'm gonna be well hacked off

I'm the one losing my marbles here nevermind Jack Torrence. It needs to hurry up.

I'm reading Daughter of Eden by Chris Beckett, the third in the Dark Eden trilogy. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books about the descendants of space travellers stranded on a planet with no sunlight and have been looking forward to this book being released.
Society has continued to evolve on Eden as the population has increased and now war is on the horizon. Angie Redlantern and her family flee Veeklehouse and head back towards the original landing site.

I'm about to start listening to To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee, narrated by Sissy Spacek. I "know" the story but am pretty sure that I haven't actually read the book.

I've nearly finished Man at the Helm by Nina Stibbe (Love Nina) which is delightful, and am also reading Nella Last's War, the Mass Obs diary of Nella Last, (she was played Victoria Wood in Housewife49)

"A Ring of Roses" [1965] by John Blackburn.

Horror novel with a Cold War background as a young British boy missing in East Germany for a few days turns up safe but not at all well (he has a mutated form of bubonic plague).

Blood Meridian - Cormac Mccarthy. Hence the separate thread.

Due to boredom I'm putting She Bop aside for a few weeks and will now start reading Tracey Thorns second book Naked at the Albert Hall - something she sadly never really did but only in her wildest weirdest dreams.

When she was bad by Tammy Cohen it was recommended on Twitter by one of my favourite authors, Elly Griffiths, seems intriguing so far.

It's not Tracey Thorn from Everything but the Girl is it?

I've just finished reading The Girl on the Train after watching the film at the cinema a couple of weeks back. After being disappointed with the film people were quick to heap adoration on the book however that was as bad if not worse than the film. Gone Girl remains the best mystery thriller of recent times yet even that one is let down by the poor ending.
