Read Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel a couple of weeks ago (on offer on the Kindle at the time). Interesting take on a dystopian future (looking at culture still being a need for humans).
Yes, I've started to. My job that I've had since April involves reading vast swathes of paperwork so reading for pleasure isn't quite as pleasurable as it was. However listening to somebody else read is a nice experience. I still feel as though I'm cheating and not sure if I can claim to have "read" the book.

Agree its like someone's asked have you read the book they'll say not but I've seen the film, substitute that with someone read it to me, it does feel a bit like cheating. Part of the pleasure of reading is, in your head you make your own ideas of what the characters sound like, with audio books you don't get to do that.
I really like the works of Andrew Keen, but I don't tend to stick to a single subject.
Never heard of him before. If you're looking for non-fiction there isn't much I could recommend. I read a lot of fiction for leisure.

Just finished "the Brooklyn follies" by Paul Auster. Brilliant
Hadn't read one of his books for a few years I'd forgotten how much I love him.
Read this or New York Trilogy

Just finished these two, back to back, from Scottish author Stuart MacBride.
Ultra dark crime novels, described as " Scottish Noir " by the critics.
Both books are brilliant reads, but with incredibly dark content.
Superbly written and hard to put down.
The way they are written, is similar to crossing the writing styles of Iain Rankin and Jo Nesbo.
Need to be read together for the continuity.
Can't recommend them enough.

Just finished City of Dreams by Tyler Anbinder. Excellent if you are interested in the history of immigration to the US.
Now reading Genius of Birds by Jennifer Ackerman

I've almost finished Book 5 of My Struggle by Norwegian writer Karl Ove Knaussgaard. It's a gut-wrenching but at times hilarious account of his childhood and adolescence and his attempts to be accepted as a writer.
Not for all tastes but baby boomers will connect with much of the cultural references in it.

finished this the other night.when i done a bit of research it seems to be 50/50 on wheter it is fact or fiction as i thought it was the former when i got it but i really enjoyed it nonetheless.
I have been reading on a Kindle for a few years now, someone bought me Bruce Springsteen' s book for Christmas, it is a heavy book and the type face is small. Things I had forgot about.

Having read it, I'd say that it's based on fact but been embellished.
Good read though.
