Proper rearing.

Shockingly the only Le Guin I have ever read is "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" and it was because the other guitarist/vocalist in Third Island wanted to base an album lyrically on it (which ended up being Omelas).  It's a short story but it is good, I enjoyed it, and have meant to read more since but just never have.  It was also fun tearing it apart for lyrics.

I recently read Brett Anderson's two autobiographies, they're interesting as a Suede fan but if you weren't, there's a lot of... wallowing I suppose that can get repetitive. Very enjoyable for me as I love those first few Suede albums.

Change of pace now, I'm a couple of chapters into Richard Coles' first autobiography. Not great so far but sure it's early days.

To the lighthouse by Virginia Woolf. Amazing writing, quiet book.

Just finished a short book - A Short Stay in Hell by Steven Peck. A man dies and discovers he followed the wrong religion so is sent to a Hell modelled on Borge's Library of Babel. He can only escape hell if he finds a book containing the story of his life in a library of (possibly) infinite books.

Breezed through it and really enjoyed it.

I want to read that one myself but it's a bit pricey for a novella.

I grabbed it on the kindle for about 5 or 6 quid which was grand. If you come across it for a decent price its definitely worth a look.

Back to reading about the Nazis now - gonna kick off tonight with Evans "Third Reich at War"

Oh nice, I have it on my kindle wish list but it was up near the tenner last time I checked. Thanks for the heads up.
