    • After reading all 5 Game Of Thrones novels 4 times in 12 months, I've moved on to the Wheel Of Time series by Robert Jordan

      That should keep me busy for the next few months

      Reading the 2nd GoT book but it seems reeeally long compared to the first.
      Got The Drowned World by J G Ballard next for a bit of a break before I continue down the Kingsroad.

    • I haven't got much time for reading at the mo, but have got a book I want to start - Scarlett Thomas: Our Tragic Universe. I got her book The End of Mr Y from a charity shop just because the cover looked good (and it has black edged pages) and really enjoyed it, and have picked up her others since, but none have been as good - hopefully this will be.

    • I've been dipping in and out of the complete works of HP Lovecraft- a ridiculously cheap 77p on Kindle.
      Also reading The Book of Dave by Will Self.

      I live in the same neighbourhood and Mr Self. I found Book of Dave a bit of a struggle to be honest...

      Yeah, I know what you mean. The chapters writen in phonetic future-cockneyisms are a bit of a slog.

    • I've just finished The Gallow's Curse by Karen Maitland...an epic medieval thriller with occult overtones. Definitely one for Mazz.

      I'm now on the first of my H.P Lovecraft anthologies.
