the funk of 40,000 years!
|
Recently re-read The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty, and am currently reading Hercule Poirot's Christmas by Agatha Christie - one of the very few Poirot books I hadn't yet read.

Though I bought it a few weeks back, I'm just now starting up on The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis, about a group of nihilistic teens who get caught up in the sinister machinations of a brutal serial killer who's menacing the streets of '80s LA. That's a very broad and basic summary that probably doesn't do justice to the full scope of the story, but it's a serviceable one all the same. Thus far it's your basic Ellis fare, i.e., a group of physically perfect, bisexually promiscuous teenagers who lead the sort of carefree and materially rich but emotionally soulless lives that many of us probably half-wish we could have lived when we were teenagers lol. But that's not a slight against it. I'm enjoying it immensely with its almost obscene litany of '80s pop culture references.

…oh, reading the synopsis on this it sounds like a story I would like and Graham has such an engaging way about him…if that carries into his writing then I’m sure I’ll like his style so I’ll give it a go…sounds like a nice summer read also…

![]() Imagine losing the most important ten years of your life … Alice is twenty-nine. She adores sleep, chocolate, and her ramshackle new house. She’s newly married to the wonderful Nick and is pregnant with her first baby. There’s just one problem. All that was ten years ago … Alice has slipped in a step aerobics class, hit her head and lost a decade. Now she’s a grown-up, bossy mother of three in the middle of a nasty divorce and her beloved sister Elisabeth isn’t speaking to her. This is her life but not as she knows it. Clearly Alice has made some terrible mistakes. Just how much can happen in a decade? Can she ever get back to the woman she used to be?

A new chapter of trainspotting has just been released by Irvine Welch. Not bought it yet, awaiting a loan of one from a pal. Or I might shop lift it from whsmith to punish them for their over priced cigarettes.

I'm reading Mapp and Lucia, fourth book in the series by E F Benson. I'm a big fan of his, his ghost stories are excellent. I've completely gone off modern novels.

The one on Netflix? Yeah I did which is why I had higher expectations for the book. It’s not the same story as the series and the only thing that is the same are the main characters names and Hill House itself. I was expecting more from it.

Night and Day by John Connolly.
When I read the inner-flap I thought it sounded awesome, I didn't realise (it didn't say) it was a short story compilation ![]() That's fine, I am enjoying the stories, but I thought they'd all come togethet somehow, the one with the library has potential to be a book on its own.
