Looks like the Madness guys on a day out to Brighton.
Currently reading through this:
Excellent so far. A damning indictment of how successive governments supported by tabloid sensationalism have brought our justice system to its knees.
Highly recommended!
Just finished this.
An outstanding, but a scary read of how easy anyone could fall foul of a broken legal system.
Frank Tayell’s Zombie series.
Absolutely loving it!
Absolutely loving it!
There’s a lot of them though !
I’m up to 8, Anglesey.
Love it, on my Belfast working days it symbolises my working day over, train home with a packet of nuts and light reading.
Exactly what you want in a novel.
Surprised they’ve never been made into a tv series tbh. There’s loads of scope there.
He wanders a bit though, loads of characters but then again Stephen King in his later books did provide a cast list.
Tayell has taken Zombies and tweaked the concept and it may work for TV but with serious adaptations.
I love his narrative and his ideas and he will forever be associated with “me” time on the going home train.
Good vibes.

I'm just on book 2 atm, read a load of it on the train home yesterday, and then in bed once I got home! Would it be different enough from something like the Walking Dead (never seen it) to make a tv series??
I’m up to book 9 now and while I am enjoying the series, I suspect it may have a bit of a TV movie vibe about it if they didn’t throw money at it.
If they focussed on the Britishness of the scenes and characters then it might find a place as a local Walking Dead.
Spot on.
However if Netflix got hold of it, I could see them making a good go of it.
Just read this in one go, brilliant, harrowing and humbling. Despite photography being my passion above everything else, I've generally steered away from war and conflict photography stuff, only reading the superb Bang Bang Club a few years ago.
This looks good. I just saw his large exhibition show at the Tate Britain last month...really amazing stuff. I knew only a bit about him, mostly as a war corrspondant, but I really enjoyed his early photos of "The Guvnor's" (a gang) and of East London when it was all blown out and ungentrified.
I've just started reading this based on the recommendation of a friend. So far, so good.
Also, just got a kindle copy of this, which explores the uniqueness of humans in terms of our strong ability to cooperate, yet our high proactive aggression; the book explains it in terms of humans being self-domesticated (tame, playful, highly social) but also quite violent particularly when it comes to premediated (proactive) aggression, such as war and murder. Very good so far...
