What are you reading at the moment?

Thanks @Digimonkey. How are you getting on with ‘Underland'?

Haven't started it yet - in between books - not sure where to go next - my reading time has been a bit curtailed of late - just finished 'Jocks.' Which I enjoyed - 250 word review to follow - but not a book you can pick up and put down - a minimum hour at a time for me - so maybe - a book about catching moles - as a palette cleanser? Ha ha. Yours - I.

@Digimonkey Glad you enjoyed With the Jocks - looking forward to reading your review; would you mind tagging me when you post, so I odn't miss it?

All the best,

Chris

Unusual to recommend a book before I have finished it - but this is lovely - rustic psycho-geography - how much metaphysical conjuring can you do on the subject of catching moles? Quite a lot apparently. Like snakes - and for the same reason - there are no moles in Ireland - we are told. Equally - it is the life testament of the author - compelling. I'm rationing it. Always the sign of a good book. On the right - my chosen bookmark for this volume. Yours - I.

Listening to Philip Glass' outstanding score for Paul Schrader's (equally outstanding, IMO) film, ‘Mishima: a Life in Four Chapters' reminds me that I need to revisit this essay in nihilism:

Sold!
 
So I finished my Gervase Phinn book.
And wondered what else to read...
So.....
I GOT A KINDLE.......
Lots of free books, however. So far the book that I'm reading is irritating me due to the fact that the author can only describe disbelief, disagreement, not understanding etc with one type of phrase.... "he said 'shaking his head,'" "she shook her head" "shaking his head he......"
Come on, your an author, think of some new phrases.
I swear, in one chapter in the space of 3 paragraphs they'd used the same phrase 4 times.
