Latest Books

At the moment, I'm reading through:

• Rumo by Walter Moers
• The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson (this is for the Wednesday Book Club at Arlington's). Not that I needed an excuse... I have a copy of the book about 20 years old, with a blue hand and a white mouse on the cover.

Just finished:

• Heartless part of the Parasol Protectorate saga by Gail Carriger.
• Snuff by Sir TP

More comments as and when available.
