I like books. Also politics, but I'm trying the 12 step detox programme. Food, music, travel and films get my interest too.

There's a fantastic Wallace and Gromit exhibition at the Harris in Preston. If you can go, you should.

It's occurred to me that my music taste is getting more eclectic as I get older, these are the last three albums I listened to!

Just finished this. It took Rushdie to the Booker long list, but to me it's one of his weaker efforts. The cultural kitchen sink approach leaves the novel cluttered, even if the characters are brilliantly drawn.
Good but not great. Victory City was much better.

It's late October so 'tis the season to pick up a @stephenking.bsky.social novel.
I wish I'd read the Dark Tower books when I was younger, sadly I missed out so am discovering them for the first time in middle-age. So far, compelling.

It's such a good novel, I can't imagine the research that went into bringing Lincoln to life (my 1988 vintage edition attached for amusement)

Picked these up yesterday, not sure which I want to read first (so I'll probably get one off the shelf or existing TBR pile instead!)
