Im reading 'A spot of bother' by Mark haddon, hes the author of the curious incident in the night time which i Loved, so i had to read this book.
Its pretty good, has many stories in it but focused around one family. I like his style, its straightforward and to the point yet still holds intrigue.
I recently read 1984 by george orwell, it is one of the best books ever! i suggest Everyone to read it! so often the book has depicted todays society, people living in fear, the whole big brother concept, etc.
