Looks can deceive.I got a case of THIS since it looks classy and was such a bargain. I'm hoping that will be enough although not many book club takers yet

Not posted in here yet, but I am currently quite a long way through "A Little Life" by Hanya Yanighara. Harrowing in places but very well written and doesn't feel at all like a 720 page book, which is a hard trick to pull off.

The Age of Bowie by Paul Morley. A mixture of nailing it and struggling to make his point, but entertaining.

I have books at various strategic locations:
Bedside Cab: Douglas Coupland - Microserfs. Prescient and smug in equal measure. Coupland captures the Zeitgeist before it even knows it's the Zeitgeist sometimes.
Bog: Michael Palin - Diaries 1982-1988. Posh Python, nice to hear some insider views of Brazil and Time Bandits, but too much detail about wine and restaurants.
Work: Some Paul Theroux travel piece. They are all the same, easy to dip in and out of, might get a snorting laugh every hundred pages.
Back Pocket: Catcher In The Rye, will be Cuckoo's Nest or Life, The Universe and Everything next week. Anything slim.
Abandoned: The Blind Watchmaker Yes, we get it. Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel. Started off ok, became some post-apocalyptic Huck Finn saga. We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler - Catcher in the Rye, only the sister is a Champanzee.
