Just got my copy of "The Discovery of Heaven" by Harry Mulisch in the mail today from Amazon. Thanks Sekerob for suggesting it! Looks quite interesting.  This book is really good! It is hard to put it down. I'm about a quarter done so far. ..  |

Just finished Darkmans by Nicola Barker, one of the shortlisted books for the Man Booker prize last autumn.
A great romp of a book with over 800 pages that still leave you yearning for more. |

Just finished the last of the Aurelio Zen mysteries by Michael Dibden called End Games. And, it really is the last because he died suddenly last year.
I'm not usually one for detective stories but this series set in Italy as Zen gets posted to various regions gives a fantastic feel of real life there so that you can almost see the various types and taste the local food. Well worth a try if you haven't come across them yet. |
