What Are You Reading 2

[Dotsie]

Read it last month on my hols

1Q84 is a very good book by Haruki Murakami. However as you read it, it gets more and more disturbing. It's certainly the most unusual book I've read in a long time. Basically it's about a female assassin and a writer and a young woman who fled from a cult in Japan set in a world that's not quite the world we, or they recognise.
Murakami is an excellent writer, one of the sort of people who could write about someone preparing a cup of tea and make it fascinating. When creating such an imaginative story as this then you really get drawn in.

Haven't had much luck with book choices lately. The last 3 I've tried have not held my attention, including an A. Lee Martinez one. I usually really enjoy his books but Emperor Mollusk and the Sinister Brain just didn't do it for me.

American Gods by Neil Gaiman.......Well re-reading it actually.....for the 3rd time. I think that after TP books, its my favourite book. 600 pages of brilliance.

I must get around to reading that again soon.

Me too! I'm having a hard time remembering it.

I'm actually sad enough to have a T shirt with the very long ' I Believe' speech from the book on it.

The words on the T shirt are pretty small, so if people want to read it they have to get quite close........it's the only way I can get anyone to look at my body nowadays

That's a great shirt! I might have to put that on my xmas list.

Science of Discworld 2: The Globe

[The Mad Collector]

I wonder when you bought that Sjoerd

Reading Histories of Nations at the moment, a series of short essays on the history of a country written by a historian from that country, it's really interesting to read the different viewpoints

Just started Dead Over Heels by Charlaine Harris. Not a Sookie book, an Aurora Teagarden one.

Okay, bit of a catch-up. Amongst other things, I have read the latest Laundry book by Charles Stross, The Apocalypse Codex. And I read a book on micronations.
