I'm currently reading To the End of the Land by David Grossman. Very intense, and reminds me strangely of D.H. Lawrence - due to the intensity and visceral quality of the emotions.

I'm in the middle of "The Wind In The Willows" by Kenneth Grahame. Another great read I vividly remember from my distant childhood.

Spent several hours today sorting out the formatting of an ebook I want to reread on holiday. I would love to have just bought the damned thing, but they won't sell it to me unless I move to America. It might actually have been quicker to have just retyped it from the paper book sitting a foot from my hand. Bah.

If it's a Kindle it's trivial to "move" to any country of your choice for the purpose of buying any book... you may have to fund your purchase with a gift certificate but even so, easily done and you don't actually have to move your arse an inch.

As you can see from a 2am & 3am finish, not wanting to race through, but also not wanting to put them down... a bout of insomnia isn't helping either

Anyone read any Cormac McCarthy? I recently started Game of Thrones but had a tip off that the McCarthy stuff is excellent.

Oh yes. I rate him very highly indeed Boab, and Blood Meridian is a good place to start - very cinematic and full of set pieces which stick in the memory. Suttree is the only one I wouldn't recommend for starters because although all his writing is dense, that one really is very hard work. If you develop a taste for him, Outer Dark is my tip.
