It really hasn't, that one could do with a remake.

Bought John Ajvide Lindqvist's 'Let The Right One In'. Really wanted to see the film but missed it in the cinema so while I wait for it to come out on dvd, thought I'd read the book. I'm enjoying it a lot, but have been told that "the film is like Freaky Friday after reading the book".

This book is brilliant, a must for any fan of The Wire. I would say that it is one of the bleakest books that I have ever read though.

Philip K. Dick's "Ubik". Huge fan of his work, and so far this one hasn't let me down. It can be a head fuck at times though

A case of so bad it's good as regards the film. Especially the fight scene in the garage. Some great dialogue too "Get your mits of me motherfucker!!" Really? Mits and motherfucker in the same sentence.

Currently unexpectedly enjoying Nick Cave's 'The Death of Bunny Munro'.

A few chapters in and after not thinking I would enjoy it all that much, I've warmed to it.

At moment I'm reading Dean Koontz's "Frankenstein, Book 1: Prodigal Son" because I wanted a popcorn book after reading more Dostoyevsky than my brain could handle. It's hardly a masterpiece but it's a fun story and I'm absolutely flying through it. Thinking about a bit of Kerouac when I'm finished.

I'm also reading The Count of Monte Cristo in the background at work, using this wonderful site: Main Page - Gutenberg. I really like it so far, but I suspect it'll be a long time before I finish it...

wtf? Why didn't I know this was out? Visit to Waterstones at lunchtime methinks....

I am currently reading 'The Late Hector Kipling' by David Thewlis.

Only a few pages in, but I suspect I am going to enjoy it...favourite quote so far - "...to say that he's getting on my nerves doesn't do it justice; he's finding footholds on every f**king synapse".
