 | Ghostwritten by David Mitchell
Buy new: £5.96 / Used from: £0.01 Everything I could ask for in a novel. Great writting, genres gone crazy, and an equally cinematic, and un cinematic scope.
|
 | Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
Buy new: £5.46 / Used from: £0.01 A tougher read, and more mature novel to 'Ghostwritten'. As difficult as it is to get into, at times it exceeds its predecessor in brilliance.
|
 | The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
Buy new: £3.86 / Used from: £0.01 Very Good. Very touching. Beautiful look at what happens to a small comunity when one of it's members is murdered. My only quip is; the depiction of heavan is a little too nieave.
|
 | Bill Hicks: Agent of Evolution by Kevin Booth
Buy used from: £6.99 On the shelf
|
 | May Contain Nuts by John O'Farrell
Buy new: £5.46 / Used from: £0.01 A funny and easy read.
|
 | Walking on Glass by Iain Banks
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01 Reading...
|
 | Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis
Buy new: £11.89 / Used from: £0.77 Larry David has CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASIM, Charlie Kauffman has ADAPTATION, and Bret Easton Ellis has LUNAR PARK. The first chapter is great, but it doesn't maintain thesame quality.
|
 | Northern Lights (His Dark Materials) by Philip Pullman
Buy used from: £0.01 On the shelf
|
 | The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
Buy used from: £65.00 On the shelf
|
 | The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks
My first Iain Banks. Good, but I want to read more because I think he could be better.
|
 | One of Us by Michael Marshall Smith
Buy used from: £0.01 Much weaker than SPARES (which was fantastic), however, hasn't detered me from reading more from MMS.
|
 | Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron by Daniel Clowes
Buy new: £8.32 / Used from: £7.22 WEIRD, but I knew it was going to be. Not as great a "David Boring", but not a disapointment.
|
 | The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01 Waiting (...to see what all the fuss is about)
|
 | Ex Machina: First Hundred Days by Brian K. Vaughan
Buy used from: £41.19 One of the most absorbing comic books I have read in a long while. Brilliant writting, which will satisfy superhero fans, and non-superhero fan alike.
|
 | Nonfiction by Chuck Palahniuk
Buy used from: £3.17 Nice little collection of essays which are a swift read. Chuck injects the same level of chaos and isolation in some of his essays as he does in his fiction.
|
 | Canal Dreams by Iain Banks
Buy new: £14.24 / Used from: £0.36 My second Iain Banks read. Some nice dreamsequences, but not so good overall.
|
 | 30 Days Of Night by Steve Niles
Buy new: £7.69 / Used from: £1.40 Very weak, and even the unique illustrations become stale.
|
 | Lucky by Alice Sebold
Buy new: £4.79 / Used from: £0.01 A frank account of a rape victum with some genuinely uncomfortable moments. An engaging read, and works even better as a companion to 'Lovely Bones'.
|
 | Number9dream by David Mitchell
Buy new: £5.96 / Used from: £0.01 Waiting
|
 | Spielberg, Truffaut and Me: An Actor's Diary by Bob Balaban
Buy new: £8.49 / Used from: £0.50 Good, and it will make you love the film even more. But it is a bit general on the nuts and bolts level of making the film.
|
 | Pryor Convictions: And Other Life Sentences by Richard Pryor
Buy used from: £3.97 Waiting
|
 | Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke
Buy new: £6.96 / Used from: £0.01 Waiting
|
 | Specimen Days by Michael Cunningham
Buy used from: £0.01 A disapointment. Neither very bad or very good. I wish had waited for the paperback.
|
 | Chariots of the Gods : Was God An Astronaut? by Erich Von Daniken
Buy new: £4.41 / Used from: £1.18 On the Shelf
|
 | The Simulacra (S.F. Masterworks) by Philip K. Dick
Buy new: £4.48 / Used from: £1.66 On the Shelf... and must read at least one PKD this year.
