What's everyone reading at the moment then? Alternately best book you've read this year?
I'm reading Serhii Plokhy's account of the Chernobyl disaster, it's excellent although not exactly pleasant reading. I'm half-way through, the reactor has exploded and the level of denial from people refusing to accept what they can see is extraordinary.

Not Here & Uncle Dysfunctional sound right up my street for some lighter hearted reading alongside the more serious stuff i have got on the go. Clarkson has filled that roll, so lets give Mr Gill a go.

Nice one, buh. Do try the site I mention above as you should be able to pick up both for a couple of quid (+P&P) each. Happy reading!
I shall of course inform you of my pork adventures tomorrow! :) |  |

just started 100 years of solitude, which isn't but could be a prelude to the next period of our history. |
If I had to pick my favourite book of all time, it would be this one. |  | | |

Currently reading this, 3rd in a trilogy from 80s and very much ahead of its time when it was written.
Best book I've read this year, albeit only 2 months in, is Borne by Jeff Vendermeer, which was one of the most bonkers bits of sci fi I've read in a long while. Massively recommended!

At the moment it's Steely Dan FAQ by Anthony Robustelli. I have 80 not out by Dickie Bird on my bedside table and Football Quotations by Phil Shaw in the bog. One book that I have on the go but can only read small bits of it a time is The Theory And Practice Of Hell by Eugen Kogon a very powerful account of The Holocaust written by a German political prisoner who was held in Buchenwald and liberated at the end of the war.
A good book I bought again this year after losing my copy years ago is Tom Watt's The End. It was published in 1993 and the whole book is all about the history of North Bank at Arsenal before it got knocked down and redeveloped told by the supporters. |  |

I have always enjoyed William Gibson. Hope you read Neuromancer first.
If you haven't read any Neal Stephenson, start with Snow Crash as a follow up. | | | |

yeah a few people have said similar, so my only worry is I'm going in with too great expectations. |  | | |

Yes, reading in order, this one wouldn't make much sense without that!
Will check out Neal Stephenson. | |
