One of two free books I got from a publisher doing a talk at uni.

I'm not surprised. Pleased

Just finished The Humbling by Philip Roth, a lovely, short, novel, about ageing, acting and sex.

Am currently reading The Defence of the Realm: The Authorized History of MI5.

Its very interesting but has about 900 pages which I am chipping away at. I am currently up to 1950's cold war shenanigans.

Brideshead Revisited.

All Families Are Psychotic - Douglas Coupland

The Seven Basic Plots by Christopher Booker.

The Ghost Writer - Philip Roth

Just finished this:

Ha! That would make sense.

I really enjoyed that. Apparently David Fincher is in talks to adapt it to screen. Boom - you just got schooled!
