in the last week ive just finished Porno by irvine welsh, which was ace. v.funny, been put off reading his books cause of how its written in scottish dialect (tbf i gave up after trying trainspotting), but porno is much easier to read and well worth it. also read Crime by him, also v.good, pretty dark stuff tho.
and today ive just finished The Reluctant Fundamentalist, which is also really good.

I am about to start The God Delusion but I dunno what its going to be like, currently reading Opium (fiction ish book set in Asia about the Opium trade and the Triads).
I recommend Sherlock Holmes, there all a good read.
the last book I read was The Dead Yard by Ian Thomson. it’s about Jamaica, and its politics, history, people and (of course) music. very interesting book.
I’m reading “Conquest of Heroes: End of an Era” atm … It’s the flagship title for my mates company … really good book actualy .. I’m not normaly into the whole mutant/hero stories but this is written really well. (and I’m not just saing that because of the ties – alltho I’m gonna post a link to where you can buy it lol)
started a book last night called ‘the war of don emmanuels nether parts’ by a guy called Louis de Bernières. he also wrote captain correllis mandolin. seems pretty good so far. 🙂

that was a quality book.
now reading the new james bond book. sebastien faulks writing as ian flemming…
Devil May Care (James Bond): Amazon.co.uk: Sebastian Faulks: Books
Try reading Pillars of the Earth and it’s sequel World Without End.
Both set in Medieval England. They are without doubt the best books I’ve read in a long long time.
Pillars of the Earth is about to come out as a tv series as well so I hope that’ll be good!

How rich was this read? I could not put it down.
It certainly painted Jamaica in a different light, highlighting just how much the UK and the US have destroyed that country for centuries past and to come.
Just reading a called “Opium” about the war in Vietnam opium heroin and what not. Very good actually. Almost makes me miss Asia, almost.
just finished ‘food of the gods’ by mckenna
now reading ‘the cosmic serpent’
