What Book are you Reading.................RIGHT NOW!!!

Don't normally post on here, long term lurker! But felt I had to let you know about The Carpet King of Texas. Fantastic book, just finished it. Proper hardcore, full-on, downright twisted and very funny. Think Irvine Welsh meets Brett Easton Ellis. Defo worth having a look at. Not out till 1st September, but someone I know got a first edition and leant it to me. Cracker.

Just finished "Child of God" by Cormac McCarthy.

His subject matter is depressing but his writing style is excellent. Although with this book I think he pinched much of it from the Ed Gein story.

Great, great book though, mack.
Just completed the full set of McCarthy with Outer Dark.
If you thought Child Of God had depressing subject matter (hillbilly outcast becomes a serial killer and necrophiliac) then check THIS one out (young, penniless hillbilly woman gives birth to son fathered by her own brother. He dumps it in the forest and tells her it died of natural causes. She finds out he was lying and goes off wandering the Appalachians to try and find her son. He goes off wandering after her. Bad, bad things happen)
 
Been away in Spain and read The God Delusion (Dawkins), The Catcher in the Rye (Salinger) and God Is Not Great (Christopher Hutchins).

Would recommend all of them...on to The Picture of Dorian Gray (Wilde)
 
Hard Time - British man's account in one of America's toughest jails. Great Read

Marching Powder - Another British man's account of life in a tough jail, this time in Bolivia. Another great read and found out by a recommendation on here

Robbie Savage Autobiography - Worth a read, still think he is a p***k though

Im half way through Alex Higgins biography
