What I’m currently reading…
Judge Dredd Year One
I know these 2000AD novels aren’t what you would call mainstream reads for book lovers, since their origins were established in comics, but I love this world. So I’m indulging myself.
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens (1843)
I’ve wanted to try Charles Dickens for some time now but have been put off because of the impression that his writings may be dark, depressing and humourless.
The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury (1950)
After a rather rocky start, in which I wasn't quite sure if the writing was just incredibly naive or some kind of joke, the whole thing began to take shape and I started to get quite interested.
The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett (1930)
Now, if you're thinking, "Well, I've seen the movie, I'm not going to bother with the book," then I'm sorry but you're wrong! Believe me, even though this book essentially is the movie, it's also its very own experience.
