popped into Waterstones yesterday to pick up the new Terry Pratchett, and emerged somewhat poorer … those three for two offers are very tempting.
- Thud by the aforementioned Terry
- Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami (picked it up because of the cover, and the blurb looked very interesting
- Tell Me No Lies: The Best of Investigative Journalism by John Pilger
- Divine Invasions: A Life of Philip K Dick by Lawrence Sutin
- Wilt in Nowhere by the wonderful Tom Sharpe
my reading heap grows ever higher …
also picked up The Catnip Kit – the little darlings go crazy for the stuff, so I thought I’d have a bash at growing our own.
I can vouch for the Murakami and the PKD biography. Both excellent – though you should also get hold of Carriere’s “I am alive and you are dead” which attempts to psychoanalyse PKD in more depth!
ah – the PKD is for – I’m not much of a science fiction fan.
[cries of “burn the heretic’ are heard …]
hurrah! you shall have to let me know what you think of Haruki Murakami – have been thinking of reading this for a while as am always drawn to it but not sure…and have just finished ‘Wilt in Nowhere’ – was fabulous if a little bizarre!
