What are you reading at the moment?
As per the title really. What are you reading at the moment and would you recommend others to read it?
I am reading Choke by Chuck Palahniuk. It's ok but i wouldn't really advise people to go out a buy it.

Just finished The Simple Truth by David Baldacci, pretty run of the mill thriller stuff. It started out pretty badly and took several chapters to introduce the main characters (of which there were far too many along with pointless sub-plots) but once it got past that it was pretty good and actually had me hooked into the story despite myself. Worth reading if you pick a copy up in the airport but it won't change your life.
Before that I read Cell by Stephen King which I really enjoyed (can see this being made into a film, but probably a bad one) and before that I read Lisey's Story also by King which is brilliant and for the first half at least has a very un-King-like narrative style.

Gangland International by James Morton
It's a factual (and brutal) account of the rise (and fall) of various gangs from 1900 to 1999.

The Dark Tower Stephen King.
Its the finale of his 7 book trilogy (
). The whole series has been long but on the whole good - if a little rambling in places.

The Python Years by Michael Palin.
Interesting stuff because as well as the development of Python and the relationships of the members of the gang, he reminds the reader of other events going on in the 1970s.

Just finished the non fiction book "Powder Wars" which was a great read after a slow start.
Started reading Pierluigi Collinas autobiography but it was pants so have returned that to the shelf...
I dont read fiction books so am looking for another autobiography / non fiction story about gangland things or someone else who is interesting...Hmmm...

Clarkson's first book which is nothing much better than repetitive "OTT" statements. Disappointing after he has shown that he can be a very good presenter on programmes other than TG.

Julian May - Conqueror's Moon
First read his stuff in the 80's, which I enjoyed - got this to make up an order on Amazon to get free postage - It is hard going so far, but has potential.
