Odyssey 2

[ lifts head (still not) gingerly above parapet ]

Yes, I am still alive. Pointless status posts and linkspam are going to Twitter, and thence to Facebook, these days, and what with moving (back for me, forward for ramtops) to Hull and werk I've not had time or brain capacity to write anything substantive.

What I have been doing since the autumn, when the Books app I use on Facebook started offering me the option, is writing a few words (if not anything much like a review) of the books I read. These get lost in the historical maw of FB so, as much for my reference as anything else, I'm going to start reposting them here.

As a start, ( here's what I read last year )

But wait, there's more!

Bringing myself up-to-date, here are ( my first two books of 2010 )

I'm onto The Long, Dark Tea-time of the Soul now, and having been vaguely maintaining some sort of connection between each books I've read since the end of last year - Švejk and these two - the obvious next step is American Gods. But having just read the bit about whales' songs being silenced by propeller noise, I'm pondering Superluminal. We'll see.
