What are you reading at the moment?

A little bit dry this one...

Just finished this, pretty decent for 90% of it, then seemed to run out of steam a bit towards the end. Would make a good film though.

Currently reading Hannibal Rising - despite lots of things basically saying I should have just stopped at Hannibal. It is a bit 'meh' at the moment and not reaching the highs of the previous books in the series, but a nice easy read anyway. For anyone who hasn't tried the series before the I highly recommend it. Red Dragon is the first and best in the series and it is just such a brilliant book.

Recently finished the below. Really good book and very different to what I usually read. 
 

[ozleicester]

Never read anything like this in my life... i find it almost impossible to describe or recommend, I have been moved, bored, enthralled, horrified and confused.

It was almost like listening to an art work... a 7 hour poem that at times wasnt, but couldve been in a different language.


phew...

Finished this last week. A fantastic read.

Just finished I am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes. 

 

It's about an American former intelligence agent, that's been called back into the intelligence world to track down a Saudi Arabian terrorist known only as "the saracen" who has managed to engineer a strain of smallpox that is resistant to vaccination, and plans to release it in the United States. 

 

I really enjoyed it, its not usually my type of thing but a work mate recommended it and I'm glad he did

[ozleicester]

Not bad...

The story about turning up for work in the chicken factory wearing his Middlesbrough shirt only to find out the boss was a Sunderland fan was a hoot.

this is a wonderfully enjoyable read.

[ClaphamFox]

Pre-ordered it. A signed copy arrived yesterday. Can't wait to get stuck in...

Looking for something similar to “A Season With Verona”? If anyone who’s read it can recommend any thing remotely similar
