dakegraWent for lunch with K again today. Twice in one week! The staff in Waterstone's will be thinking we're having an illicit affair or something.
K picked up a selection from their 3 for 2 offer, but I worked out that it would be cheaper for me to buy the books on Waterstones.com, get them delivered to the branch, and buy them that way. I'm after, in no particular order
The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighbourhood
, by David Simon & Ed Burns
Matter
, by Iain M Banks
Bad Things
, by Michael Marshall
Though I'm listening to the audiobook of Matter, which is jolly good. Though the narrator, when doing the voice of Ferbin, sounds remarkably like David Mitchell of Peep Show fame, which is mildly distracting.
Also very tempted by the new Artemis Fowl book - I've listened to the audiobooks of the first three, I think. All read by Nathaniel Parker and all fabulous.
