I’m cutting it fine to announce this next book as I am probably going to finish The Bourne Identity tonight or tomorrow (work permitting.) It’s taken me quite a while to read, but it has been worth it. My Book Activity page has been a little non committal about what I am planning to read…

Book Review – The Periodic Table by Primo Levi
Oh my goodness. I have just written about 300 words of intro to this book review, and just managed to loose it all because I went to look up which airport you need to go to if you want to climb Everest! I was in the middle of a pretty good descriptive passage and WHAM,…
New current book – The Hunted by Tarn Richardson
Really quick update due to sudden availability of The Hunted by Tarn Richardson. I know Tarn, and have been itching to get hold of some of his writing. I haven’t been able to crowbar a copy of The Damned from him yet, but the teaser trailer is The Hunted; a prequel that was released today!…
Next Book – The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum
I’m about to start a chapter called “Gold” in Primo Levi’s The Periodic Table. I am as usual building up a head of steam, and suddenly find myself past half way through the book when I still feel as if I am getting started with it. The prose is well constructed and comfy and I…
Book Review – The Woman in Black by Sandra Hill
The short version of my review of The Woman in Black: Well, it didn’t shit me up as much as the film did! In one way, that encapsulates most of what I want to say about the book. Because I had watched the film when it came out in the cinema, I was expecting something more directly…
Book Review – Out of Chingford by Tanis & Martin Jordan
Since first seeing the wonderful cover of this book I felt sure that I would enjoy it. I am of course, an adventurer myself, and so to read a book about such amazing exploits as those undertaken by Martin and Tanis was wonderful. At first their approach to their whole life amazed me. I have trouble actually getting…
Next Book – The Periodic Table by Primo Levi
I find myself slightly on the back foot as I write this hasty next book post. I am really enjoying The Woman in Black, but not more than Out of Chingford. I gave Out of Chingford a 5/5 rating on goodreads, but that will round down to a 9/10 on the final review (well, you…
Next Book – The Woman in Black by Susan Hill
This “Next Book” update finds me motoring through Out of Chingford at a great rate on knots. In doing so, I have noticed something about the way that I read a book, I guess it is similar to most people? I potter around the start wondering how I am ever going to finish this book…
Book Review – Lord Foul’s Bane by Stephen Donaldson
Let’s start this review by saying that Lord Foul’s Bane is a really good book. I tweeted and wrote progress updates on goodreads while I read the book and while suffering from bouts of descriptive amnesia, “it’s good” was all I could muster. OK, maybe not the most in depth descriptions in the world, but…
Next Book – Out of Chingford by Tanis & Martin Jordan
Hello everyone on the interweb 🙂 How the devil are you? You’re looking good, must be those new years resolutions to stop eating bad things? For myself, I resolved to not make new years resolutions this year, and it is going really well. Slightly more gut, and I have just finished off a few After Eights…
