Currently reading-

'Hannibal Rising'. The new Thomas Harris novel and damn good it is too!

It's in the cinema next month also.

Will then get onto-

'Redemption Song' The Joe Strummer book.

Anyone read this?

"The Google Story" by David A. Vise - very interesting insight into the formation, running and strategy behind the company.

Then moving onto "Moonraker" by one Mr. Ian Fleming.

After watching a documentaryover Xmas in which Edith Piaf claimed that her dramatic social ascent was due to her becoming well read, I decided my New Year' Resolution would be to broaden the mind with literature.
The children however, have had different ideas and bought me The Decadent Handbook for the modern libertine for Xmas. As soon as I've finished Belle de Jour The Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl, I'll let you know how I got on.

Read Keith Floyds autobiography. Very interesting and humourous read, he has a very fine style of write indeed. Recommend it even if you're not interested in the guy.

Reading "A Dream of Wessex" by Christopher Priest - alternative SF kind of thing. Only just started it, but good so far. Published in the late 70s I think.
