a march round up

April 1, 2010

Have been neglectful of my book watching recently. Partly accounted for by increased walking to work.

Though I have noticed a couple of brave souls walking while they read. Stieg Larssen  is the constant companion on one walker spotted  a couple of days in a row.

On buses and trams in the last couple of weeks

  • Cate Hennedy’s The World Beneath
  • Orwell’’s Ninety Eighty Four
  • A hardback John Grisham
  • The sublime Ramson by David Maloud
  • Harry Potter and the something.. ( one of those adult cover versions)
  • The one percent doctrine by Ron Suskind, which looks like a fascinating book about America’s hunt for terrorists post September 11.

I am reading Orhan Pamuk’s Snow. It’s a dense read, at times funny commentary on the dilemma of modern Turkey. Can’t see myself finishing it any time soon…
