What are you reading?

10 March 2010, 16:59

We know Sasguru is reading Spivak, but what are you all reading for entertainment?

Lately:

- Lord of the Flies (W. Golding) : not half as good as I remembered it.

- Gorillas Were My Neighbours (Fred G. Merfield) - old African big game hunter yarns from the 1920s

- The Spear of Destiny (Trevor Ravenscroft) - Nazis and the occult - absolute bloody nonsense from start to finish.

You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

Not really literature though, is it?
