The last five books I’ve read
1. A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich - Alexander Solzhenitsyn (well, still reading - it's bloody good)
2. His Dark Materials trilogy - Philip Pullman (incredibly imaginative and filled with beautiful descriptions, but the plot was sometimes messy)
3. A History of God - Karen Armstrong (interesting and well written, if repetitive - people's ideas of God tend to be similar)
4. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night time - Mark Haddon (fascinating autistic narrator)
5. LOTS of comics - especially The Swamp Thing by the great Alan Moore
Five books I’m looking forward to reading
1. Birds without Wings – Louis De Bernieres

3. Life of Pi – Yann Martel
