I have just read about a pretentious twit reading a book about Psychoanalysis. But am reading Aftermath by Peter Robinson ATM

"Forgotten Voices of The Somme " very apt and at the same time horrific what those lads saw and put up with.

Perhaps we should recommend some required reading for Sammi and the boys

I have just finished The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher by Hilary Mantell.
Really don't bother, it's a short story collection seemingly written by 16 year-old GCSE English student trying to be a bit edgy. It's bloody awful

How To Read Lacan by Slavoj Zizek
Psychoanalysis meets philosophy, with some art/film critical analysis and a fair bit of smut, sorry, sexiophantasmigorical deconstruction...
An ideal stocking filler request via the Amazon link up top

Just started 'The Sleepwalkers' which is about European politics and the lead up to the First World War - unable to sleep at 3.00am this morning reading the first chapter about Serbian politics at the end of the 19th century was very interesting as well as well written so unfortunately failed to have the desired soporific effect!!

I had not read a book for 25 years ..... since i left school.
2 years ago I read Making History by Stephen Fry.
Ever since i always have a book in my hand, not because the book was that special, I just really enjoyed how relaxed I was and it got me out of watching shit pointless TV.
In the past 2 years I must have read close to 50 books, which is by no means prolific, but for a non reader is quite a thing.
Reading is epic.

Red by Gary Neville at the moment, because I was given it in a bundle of stuff to read while I was in hospital but never got round to it. Just finished More Fool Me by (Sir) Stephen Fry. Why this man doesn't have a knighthood I will never know. Funny, talented, patron of many charity's and has championed lots of new ideas (he was the original Apple fanboy, and also was one of the first few people to embrace Twitter). He'll get a knighthood sooner or later though I suppose.

Just finished The Luminaries-Eleanor Catton. Very enjoyable whodunnit in the New Zealand goldfields
Recently read To the Lighthouse-Virginia Woolf. My first Virginia Woolf novel and quite a hard slog to be honest.
Now reading : The Finkler Question-Peter Jacobson. Booker prize winner but not rocking my boat yet, a few chapters in.

Do No Harm by Henry Marsh, a brilliant, moving and very honest account about his life as a neuro-surgeon.
I can't recommend it enough.
