Books I've read recently

[diebitter]

Read more hitchhikers, it's good stuff.

And the Watchmen never gets boring, no matter how often you read it. Can I recommend 'Arkham Asylum' with Batman for some psychological food for thought?


Here's mine...

Stephen King - On writing - I reviewed it in here, but overall an invaluable writing resource

Tess of the D'Urbervilles - Thomas Hardy Not a big fan of Hardy - too much description for my liking, but this is very nicely written. Very, very, very sad though.

Rebecca - Daphne Du Maurier brilliant writer, and the first half of the book is stunning right up until the unnamed herione nearly throws herself out of the window...then it gets a little plainly melodramatic to be a classic.

Wuthering Heights - Bronte - read this a while back and didn't like it that much, and was hoping a reread would improve my view of it. Nah, didn't like it much again.

Oliver Twist - Dickens - Great storyteller, sometimes tortuous phrasing. Some GREAT characters though. A twisty work, but the twists are written well enough to make it a nice, enjoyable read.
