Finally got time to finish The End of Mr Y.

Interesting tale of homeopathic time travel with some disturbing lab mice based stuff. Nicely meta. Read it.

Rubbish ending though. Stop reading at page 490 and make something up instead – sorry Scarlett (oh, and your website seems to be a bit goosed – keeps pointing to www2. which doesn’t know what to do with the php).

Following the bye bye to the last book I’m now hunting for something else to read with a similar opening farewell in the title. Some hopes!

I finished two books in a week! Admittedly I started both of them last year – but hey! Bye Bye Balham by Richard Herring – perfect for slicey reading. Slicey as in a page or two at a time when you get a minute rather than a few sittings of a few hours which a ‘proper’ book deserves. Like the books Clarkson releases with his articles. Or Charlie Brooker. But from a blog not a column. Self contained little time wasters – but good. Mostly.
Weirdly I bought it more as a nod for the podcast he does with Andrew ‘Kermode must be on holidays’ Collins.

I just got my copies of Mustard – the new(ish) comedy magazine. A lot funnier than I expected. Although they better not keep using the phrase ‘post-spaced’ in interviews. Less than £5 for 3 issues.
