The Book Thread

Annoyingly I’ve now read all of Connolly’s books. But there’s a new Bosch thriller due out next week.

I’m only on book 5 of The Bosch’s (Trunk Music) so got loads to get through. Got the first 10 ready.

Because I’ve mashed my hand I can’t play Zelda so as long as I put my phone in another room I dont get too distracted.

Currently on a good book streak.

Bought Pritch’s cookbooks as Missus is vegan and I eat that way regular. They look really good actually.

I bought them too! They are still looking ‘really good’ since they haven’t moved from the shelf since I got them :sweat_smile:

I was just going to do all the Bosch ones but got to one which was a sequel to something else so I’ve been doing all his books in the published order now instead.

Finished this just now

I couldn’t breathe for the last 100 pages.

The man can write a fucking thriller.

I read that book a couple of weeks ago. SO good!

Almost unreadable, but stuck with it to the bitter end for some reason.

Why use 1 word when 20 unpronounceable ones will do?

3/10. Stick to to the telly.

Pretty bloody good this. Tough to follow the intricacies and motivations of people towards the end (might just be me though). Horrible stuff in places.

I just looked up the author because I didn’t know anything about him. Blimey.

There’s a pretty good film too.

Got this on order to turn up today (weans having a halloween party, i’m banished to the spare room) - been recommended and seems fitting for the impending darkness of winter, a fascination with hauntology and an addiction to Boards of Canada

Mark Fisher (RIP) is required reading!

Been reading for the last hour or so, got to say while I agree with his points about lost futures, it might not be for me, I can already feel myself being drawn to nihilism

I enjoy a bit of Ellroy, the Underworld trilogy is great.

Best to break him up with other stuff as he can be pretty full on to binge read…
