I found Marr's book very disappointing. Reading Keef Richard's autobiography, which even as a not a big Stones fan, I'd recommend. Very entertaining.

The Goldfinch had been on unread my bookshelf for ages. Several people have said it is great but could/should have been shorter so I'd be interested to hear how you get on.
I'm finally getting round to starting Marlon James' 'A brief history of seven killings' today.
Good luck!
Thanks. I have been reading quite light stuff recently so am definitely not match fit for it. I'm hoping muscle memory will kick in. Any pointers?
I gave up on it so none at all from me.
Gulp. You are not the first person who has said that...

First 66% or so is good then it loses its way and disintegrates into nothing you signed up for. Keep it on the bookshelf because it'll look good, but probably don't bother reading it unless you've got no other options.

I'm not particularly a Smiths fan, and let's face it, people mainly pick it up to read about him and Morrissey.

P g Wodehouse - the golf omnibus.
Father's Day present and a nice gentle series of stories from the 20's and 30's about golf.
Golf is slowly taking over my life.

I'm not normally a huge fan of that kind of book, but I thought I Am Pilgrim was absolutely superb.
Not sure how far in you are, but what do you make of it so far?

I enjoyed it very much too, although it got a little bit far fetched at times, suprised its not been made in to a movie to be honest, got hollywood written all over it as plots go.
I thought exactly the same as far as a movie adaptation goes - I believe the author is a Hollywood screenwriter by 'trade' so that probably shouldn't be a surprise.
Mind you, I can think of at least one scene which is crucial to the plot which I'm not sure even Hollywood could get away with showing!
