I am reading American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis again so that I can write something about it at a later date.

i'm halfway through 'everything is illuminated' which everyone except me seems to have read already, and a chapter into 'i am a cat' by Soseki Natsume. i am a slow reader and i try to read too many books at once, but i am enjoying them both.

"As Used On The Famous Nelson Mandela" by Mark Thomas. It's carrying on from the thing he did on "The Mark Thomas Product" about setting up a fake PR firm for Arms Companies. Interesting, eye opening and still (thanks to his sense of humour) amusing.

I'm currently enjoying 'fighter boys', the story of RAF fighter command during the battle of britain.

Marabou Stork Nightmare by Irvine Welsh - very interesting

just finished Panic by Jeff Abbott, great book, ending was a little off the rest of the story but neverless a great read.

Be My Enemy by Christopher Brookmyre. Twas a birthday present from my uncle and its pretty good read so far, even though i have only read the first 2 chapters!

Tom Clancy`s Rainbow Six....
its good but it gets too into military technical jargon for my liking a bit too often.

edit - i actually more than half of it years ago when i borrowed it from the library but i lost it and have never been back, but i bought this one.

I started to read that again recently, but then decided I couldn't be bothered. I got rid of most of my Tom Clancy books a few years ago.

I just finished reading 'The Stornoway Way' - Kevin MacNeil It was very good.

I recently re-read Oliver Sacks' The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat. It's blooming marvellous. It could've easily been an overly clinical case diary, but it's thankfully toned down for the benefits of easy reading. Beautifully written book, Sacks evidently displayed a lot of warmth for his patients.

Also, Umberto Eco's The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana is a beautiful read, and it's rumoured to be his last novel, which is a shame

I'm currently reading The Transformation ('Metamorphosis') and Other Stories by Franz Kafka, which I picked up for 50p in a book sale at work. Having never read 'Metamorphosis', it was good to finally find out what my ex-flatmate blabbered on about.
