What is East Dulwich reading?

[gallinello]

I've just finished 'The Damned United'- David Peace.

An excellent read; depressing and gripping in equal measure.

Thoroughly recommend it.

'A Burmese legacy' by the Observers Sue Arnold.

[Ted Max]

This thread.

[kaparte]

"Renegade, The Lives and Tales of Mark E Smith". Brilliant, humorous, cruel and honest!

presently 1/2 way through "the vienna woods killer" by john leake, true story about an austrian writer called jack unterweger who was also partial to a bit of serial killing.

Dorothy Dunnett's 'House of Niccolo' series - really recommend her if you like historical fiction and don't mind having to work at it. Sadly out of print here but you can get lovely US paperbacks from Amazon.com.

Start with The Lymond Chronicles, though - here's why: reasons to read Dorothy Dunnett

Hotel du Lac.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

By Royal Command - Charlie Higson

[Michael Palaeologus]

Scarpetta

[clare]

1977 - David Peace

[gallinello]

The Passion of the Western Mind - Richard Tarnas.

Back to basics for this Dulwichite, in an attempt to make sense of the ideas that have shaped our weltschauung

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Mr Pip - Lloyd Jones. Quite harrowing but beautiful.

[Jah Lush]

I loved that book PG.

[annaj]

Oh, Mr Pip is amazing isn't it PGC?

The way it turns in an instant from light and lovely narrative to indescribable horrors is breathtaking.

I've just finished Revolutionary Road. Also brilliant and emotionally draining in an entirely different way.

[bigbadwolf]

I've just finished 'The various haunts of men' by Susan Hill. Very good.

[marcusantonius]

The Secret Scripture - Christopher Barry. Well worth all the the acclaim. You could go so far as to say 'barry!'. Anyone know what his other stuff is like?

[HonaloochieB]

Bad Science by Ben Goldacre, Acid Drops by Kenneth Williams and I've just picked up Redemption Song again by Chris Salewicz.

[Moos]

I'm reading 'Guilty Pleasures' by Tasmina Perry, which is fab. It has lots of conspiracies, shopping, brilliant young entrepreneurs making unlikely profits off the back of thin ideas, glamorous locations, sex, family feuds, attempted murder, true love, and more sex and shopping.

What do you mean, I'm the only person in ED that reads trash? How dare you.

> Scarpetta

Was this any good MP? Patricia Cornwell lost me some time ago, I liked the first three or four Scarpetta novels, but got irritated by the inane dialogue in the later ones. And as for that sodding niece of hers...

[bigbadwolf]

Is that Moos Jr's bedtime story?
