I used to read a hell of a lot, but recently struggled to concentrate too long, still I have read a couple of books recently.. so curious what are you reading at the moment?

Are you enjoying it?

What was your favourite or recommended book or author to read?

I just read where there be dragons.. nice easy fantasy book, enjoyable read..

I loved labyrinth by Kate Mosse

I dont really have the time to read a physical book nowadays but I listen to audiobooks when I'm at work. At the moment I'm listening to the Dresden Files series. I've got almost 200 audiobooks and a total listening time close to 6 months

Just stared The House of Sacrifice by Anna Smith Spark, it's a literate almost operatic grimdark fantasy and I highly recommend the author to anyone into fantasy.

Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell (no not that David Mitchell) read it years ago but I'm bored of waiting for him to write a new novel so I'm going through his back catalogue.... Again.

Always very well constructed with beautiful prose, a ridiculous imagination and a touch of the supernatural. Cloud Atlas or Ghostwritten are good intros...

I've started too many things I cant catch up with, comics mostly. Stated reading, and collecting, Eternals and New Gods both by Jack Kirby. Also started the original series of Gurdians of the Galaxy plus about 50 tabs currently open in Google on my phone for other comics I've stated.

Books - John Dies at the End, Pulp by Buckowski and Mort by Pratchett

Background read is Jerusalem, by Alan Moore. Very complex, very rewarding, almost every chapter makes you go to re-read earlier sections as connections between characters and time periods drop into place.

In between chapters of that, been re-reading stuff by M.John Harrison, Roger Zelazy, Angela Carter.
