yea i am going away with work soon so i might just start it again, it is a good book but i keep getting distracted, another good book i read recently was exstacy by irvine welsh, wierd but rather entertaining.
Books are fantastic. Its amazing how many people read, but donโt talk about it.
I fancy โInto the wildโ cos I enjoyed the film.
My favorite is โThe Roadโ by Cormac McCarthy. A post apocalypse/distopian tale, a father taking care of his son, very sparse, but loaded with emotion.
Also, โDivided Kingdomโ Rupert Thompson. Psychologically test everyone in the British Isles, divide them into four groups, send each group to a part of the country separated by large walls and let them get on with it. All violent people together, all optimistic folk together etc.
Also, โA product of the system-my life in and out of prisonโ by Mark Leech.
There is so much good stuff available, you just need to get the right books at the right time in your life, so that you can engage with them, and take meaning from them, and use it.
