Still She Haunts Me by Katie Roiphe

A fictional tale of Charles Dodgson's (Lewis Caroll) complex and mysterious relationship with Alice Liddel.

Possibly the best writing I've experienced for a long time, despite the potientially rather creepy subject matter.

Not reading as such but in work today I just finished listening to the Scott Sigler podcast novel Infection. Not the purest piece of literature I've ever encountered but massively entertaining. I would also recommend his first two podcast novels Earthcore and Ancestor particularly for anyone interested in pulp creature feature type movies.

Stephen King - Cell

I don't like King at all but that was a present and I needed something easy to ready until next week that Reaper's Gale will come from amazon.

Typical King writing with the only redeeming quality being the fact that it throws you into the action from the second page. Other than that it still drags pointlessly.

4/10 so far

Try The Dark Tower series.... By Stephen King.

It's not like his other books (altho it does pay homage to them)
But the series is very very special. It's easily the finest work he has ever done and spans pretty much all his writing career.
