I do.

Have recently read the two jp books in another thread, Lenny McClean's autobiography (great) , Roy Keane's autobiography. I do spend 3 hours a day on trains though.

Read loads a couple of months ago

Fences and Windows
We did nothing
Israel and Palastine
Spies
Rising Tides
Branded

(spot the WH Smiths purchases while waiting for the train)

I too have had long journeys in like Oli, stuck to mags and Newspapers the past month or so though.

Seem to eb and flow when it comes to books, sometimes just need something shorter - though short story compilations are always a good solution for that one. + there's always my nasty comic habit

Have to say I do love the feel of a good book though, feels so much more real than the internet.

I don't know why I'm saying this, it's not like i particularly enjoy abuse, but here goes:

I'm reading the latest Harry Potter book.

(Abuse only acepted from people who have read the book)

Also read the inevitable "Stupid White Men" recently - thoroughly enjoyed.

Can't wait to get my teeth into "The Wee Free Men" (Terry Pratchett)

Also constantly dipping into Schizophrenic

I couldnt get into that one. Was a few years back tho, might try it again now i've erm... matured a little. Recently re-read Brave New World, On the Road and Diary of Anne Franke

Keep meaning to read some Margaret Atwood - highly recommended by my missus who's a writer-type and damn picky.

David Blaine has given up his controversial stunt.......

He was told that 44 days doing nothing in a box is not going to break the record which is currently held by Emile Heskey at 4 years
