You should start thinking about writing reviews on a more regular basis. This year I read about 15 books, I can't find them all. Interestingly, 13 of the 15 were all read on my kindle. One of the hard copies I bought on holiday (at Planet Books - I can't resist), the other was a Yates collection that isn't in ebook form yet. A bit of random trivia but there you go. This year was my crime year. I needed a punch in the guts to disengage from my iphone, and only a crime in need of solving seemed up to the challenge. I read four books of John Le Carre and two of John Banville's. It's quite surprising that some of my most favourite reads, just from a pure entertainment angle, come from a genre I have never really written in. Maybe there's something there. Highs: John Banville's The Untouchable - just such a narrative force, reminded me of the debauchery of Lolita, with a great crime saga plodding along in the background.
