Finished Light by M John Harrison. It was ok but not great, that's 3 of his I've read now, despite Light being the best of the 3 I think I'm done with him now.

Slaughterhouse was decent, but not sure why it's so revered as a classic SF novel.

I got "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue - The Best Of Forty Years" for my Birthday, so I've started dipping into that Smiling

I've been lucky enough to get to two recordings back when Humph was in the chair, and one with Jack Dee. And kicking about somewhere I've got a signed poster from when Just A Minute were at the City Varieties in Leeds... (did a bit of hanging about the door afterwards - Liza Tarbuck practically dragged Paul Merton back out of the taxi Smiling )

Raw Sprit: In search of the perfect dram by Iain Banks.
Informative and a good fun read a travelogue around Scotland sampling a few wee haufs.

Re: What are you reading now?

Indeed a great book, I have a signed copy.
Just a bit to much info about cars & driving for me though.
Loved all the stuff about Whisky & Scotland though

Yes I could have done with less about the cars, but Iain was a bit of a petrol head.
