Seems a decent bit of hard SF.

I've just started John Green's The fault in our stars. (I thinkt he film has just been released) It's a bit of emotional story though!

The World is my Lobster, George Cole autobiography, don't normally bother with such books but I like him and his book is a gentle read.

Re: What are you reading?

Mr Mercedes by King. Enthralling, the first book that I have ever been able to stomach thats written in present tense (mostly).

Hoping to have a bit of a Stephen King summer, got these lined up for a re-read:

Hearts in Atlantis
Rose Madder
The Talisman
Black House
Salem's Lot
Insomnia

Re: What are you reading?

Pines by Blake Crouch. Awesome book and about to be made in to a TV series. Kind of a mix of Lost and Prison Break but set in a small town.
