Good series of sci-fi/dystopian dramas on the R4 IPlayer. Some famous - A Brave New World and The Kraken Awakes. And some not so, including The News From Nowhere - describing a utopian society 100 years into the future.

Currently reading at the moment an anthology of ghost stories. Some crackers, and includes authors you don't usually associate with the genre : Graham Greene, Dylan Thomas and Muriel Spark. Also an author called Elizabeth Bowen who is fantastic in evoking the seediness, greyness and the depressing nature of war torn Britain.

I know it's a while ago but can you remember what the book's called? Sounds right up my street.

No, does that help ?
Seriously, I'm working in Wales at the moment. Next time I'm home I'll see if I can find it.

The excellent series Voices of the First World War returns. On Radio 4 all this week. In the 15 minute programmes we hear from people involved in the War. This week the subjects covered this week are :
Verdun
Jutland

If the previous series are anything to go by, well worth a listen.
