It's a little slow 43% in though, getting there.

That book is bloody awful.

Well, I'm a massive reader, usually going through 3 books at a time. One is usually psychology based, another literature, and the 3rd being technical.

Right Now My Literature is - Lock In



Psychology is - Quiet


And my 'Technical Book' is - Learn to Code with HTML & CSS

Commiserations, old bean.

Read Joey Bartons book a little while ago, some parts are pretty interesting but he's a massive knobhead as expected. Reading the Game Of Thrones books now. On the 4th one, they're all huge but first 3 are great.

What were the interesting parts?

Anything good on us?

4 is the worst, so just get through it and you'll be rewarded twofold with #5. I absolutely loved those books and I'm typically a big Fantasy guy.

I can't remember too much about us to be honest. His 'highlights' of his time here are his prison spell and injury problems.

Nothing is True and Everything is Possible by Pete Pomeranstev

Very easy-to-read short book on modern Russian society which reads like a series of journalistic essays.

I read that recently and really enjoyed it.

I've ordered "The Invention of Russia: The Journey from Gorbachev's Freedom to Putin's War" by Arkady Ostrovsky for my flights to Singapore and back.

I was working from another office earlier this week and one of the people there started talking to me about books and was saying how he likes to read about military naval history. Then he asked me what i liked to read and i was like erm I'm reading 'I am Zlatan' at the moment

My missus just bought me a book called "the chimp Paradox " . I don't know what's she trying to say but it's about harnessing your inner chimp. Cheeky bastard.

Bought the 5th Game Of Thrones book on the 31st January and still haven't started it

Just finished Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates. Absolutely loved it. Miserable and brutal as hell exposure of narcissism, provincial torpor and wasted chances, all the while managing to have a dry smirk at everything going horribly wrong. Reads ridiculously easy, I recommend it to anybody whose idea of hell was always a desk job and a 3-bed semi for the rest of their life, but finds themselves owning both of those things anyway.

Why? Because it's uplifting or because it will make them feel really s**** about themselves?

And this

. I meant because it'd be easier to empathise with the situation. It'll definitely make you feel like s*** because it's hideously depressing, but it is also galvanising/inspirational in its way.
