Not a terribly exciting post, but this one is more for me to look back on and see what I was reading and a bit of what I thought about the books at the time.
I didn’t read Toll The Hounds. I ranted about the reasons in an earlier post.
11. The Domino Men by Jonathan Barnes – This was alright. Kind of a sequel to The Somnambulist by the same author, which was a much better book.
12. Dwarves Of Death – Jonathan Coe – This was very forgettable, modern fiction without any of the humour that I expected. Not sorry I read it, but not exactly happy either.
13. The Secret History of Moscow by Ekaterina Sedia – I had high hopes for this book. It was billed as similar to Neverwhere, which I really liked, but it was much more boring than that. Maybe I didn’t resonate with the Russian fairytale figures coming to life. I just didn’t connect with the characters. Oh well.
Reading: Shampoo Planet by Douglas Coupland – Not bad so far. A bit quirky in a good way.
