With apologies to Chris C for nicking his idea!

So you probably got some books for xmas, it's miserable outside - time to stay indoors for a month and hibernate...

I'm currently reading;

Iain Sinclair - 'Lights Out For The Territory' and

JG Ballard - 'Collected Short Stories, vol.2'

You have to admit "Just over half of David Bowie" wouldn't quite work...

...mind you, I'd probably still buy it!

Why bother reading stuff you wrote yourself? ... Yeah, I recognise you from your picture. laugh

Currently reading 'Little Dorrit' by Charles Dickens. Last book I finished was one of Garry's - 'The Unlimited Dream Company' - which was nothing short of superb. Thinking of moving to Shepperton...

laugh Well-spotted Scott! And you're right - 'The Unlimited Dream Company' is superb!

My missus reads a lot of Charles Dickens, I confess I've read none his works - which is really unforgivable. She's read 'Oliver Twist' so many times that when she first moved to London from Sheffield, she could work her way round quite easily without a map as she remembered how the streets linked together!
