Just finished a couple...
Jennifer government by Max Barry: Decent enough. Pretty fun, kinda funny, very easy to read, not to distant future thing where corporations have privatised government, and franchised it all over the world. An Airmiles type company has basically taken over.
Guide by Dennis Cooper. Honestly, the most gruesome thing I've ever read. Made me shiver, but flew through it. Not much of a plot, from what I can gather, an autobiographically inspired Dennis charachter, becomes increasingly obsessed with killing boys. The violence exceeds American Psycho, but it doesn't have any of the humour of that book. Not sure if I'd recommend it.
Next, either Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, or maybe the His Dark Materials trilogy, which I finally got cheap copies of (I have an wicked bargain section in my local bookstore, Mcnally Robinson, which all of these books came from). The first page of Cloud Atlas kinda intimidates me though... |
