Here's some of the backlog of books I've got waiting to be read, by description if not title:
a Charles Sheffield science fiction novel; the first volume of the famous multi-volume biography of Graham Greene; three Graham Greene novels (I'll have to space them out, as too much "Greeneland" in one go is almost certainly depressing); "The First Blitz" about Zepplin bombing raids in WW1; "The Third Man Factor" about the experience people in crisis or isolation often have of some other presence; a book from the 1960's by some German author about religion in ancient Israel; "Lucky Jim" by Kingsley Amis; a memoir about growing up in Ireland in the 50's and 60's; "Johnno" by David Malouf (actually, I haven't spotted that for a while, but it will turn up somewhere); "The Surgeon of Crowthorne" by Simon Winchester; an early Michael Crichton medical thriller I had never heard of until my wife found it; two books of World War 2 memoirs (one about the air force, the other POW experiences); and a James Glieck book about information.
And I haven't even mentioned the 3 or 4 I have somewhere on the iPad (two about paranormal stuff, and one fairly academic tome about Thugee in India).
Most of these have come from second hand book purchases or were free downloads.
I need to take a couple of weeks off from blogging, and start reading of an evening instead.
I should do something stupid for Dodopathy again too.
Remember to come back!
