Sorry, that’s a separate clique...

I was thinking the same when I saw the thread title, you could just imagine CIM and Fido talking amongst themselves about dogshit being left on trees, golf and the inclement weather/being snowed in.

What's everyone reading at the moment/read recently that's any good?

Also I'm contemplating getting my first Kindle as I've remained old school and loyal to the paper original but think I can be persuaded.

Are they worth it?

I'm not mad about Kindle. I don't even use it anymore although it certainly saves space compared to books.
Speaking of books and the OP, here's what I've been on. 
Just finished Lonely Boy, Steve Jones. Good read although incredibly rude.
Almost read Mick Farren's biography. Give the Anarchist a cigarette. Enjoyable memoir of an exciting era.
Picking at Moranthology. Caitlin Moran. Laugh out loud funny.

Just re-reading Francis Wheen's biography of Karl Marx.  Loff out loud funny but also tragic as disease and death take their toll in Victorian Britain and elsewhere.  Like a plot Dickens would have weaved across 20 instalments.  On that, I'm re-reading The Poickwick papers for a loff, an' all.

The last book I read was The Hollow Man by Dan Simmons. I've mentioned him before on previous incarnations of this dump.

Just started reading a novel called Primary Colors by "Anonymous". According to Wikipedia, it was actually written by Joe Klein and is a work of fiction but features real people (with name changes) and is based around real events from Bill Clinton's first US Presidential campaign. I'm only 50-odd pages in, so still getting a feel for it.

Just read Another Fine Mess by Tim Brown. Don't go for travel books much but he crossed America in a Model T through all the areas that voted Trump. I'm in to vintage cars so this appealed to me a lot. Cracking read.
Just started Skullduggry Pleasant book 10 with my lad, which is a fab series.

I work for a media organisation and one of the fringe benefits is that we get dozens of books sent in each week for review, when the culture team are finished with them they end up in the canteen for anyone to take.

Got a copy of Kill ‘Em All, the follow up to Kill Your Friends sat on my desk that I need to get round to starting.
