My Reading List
As Frank Zappa once famously said, ‘So many books, so little time.’ I am sure many of you can empathise with that, I certainly can. As well as keeping busy writing (4 novels to date) I like to read. My writing genre is dark humour/satire. Because of this I tend to read a lot of books that fall into this category. However, I am something of an eclectic reader. Today, I would like to share with you a few books from my ever-growing TBR list.
Yes, I am aware the above is a picture of a dog not a book cover. Trigga has picked up some unsavoury habits of late, possibly from his owner. As a result I have decided to deviate from my usual reading matter to read …
Wish me luck.
I have not read much Irvine Welsh, but I was immensely impressed by Skagboys which I read earlier this year. My next Welsh book will be … What a great title, marabou storks are terrifying creatures.
Goodreads members have been raving about American Gods for a long time. It is high time that I read it.
Bret Easton Ellis has certainly had an influence on me and my writing. I didn’t think much of Lunar Park though. Hopefully this will be better.
When it comes to entertainment, you can’t beat prison breaks. Somehow, I have never got around to reading:
Like its prequel Blood Ties promises to be a gritty Manchester-based crime novel.
The word ‘scarface’ was enough to prompt me to add the below to my to-read list. Just as many the world over, the film Scarface had a profound effect on me.
I have always been fascinated by indigenous Americans. Crazy Horse is an iconic figure and I have high hopes for this book.
If you know you me, you will know that I cannot resist Transgressive Fiction hence the inclusion of Fiend on my TBR.
