    The Optimists Andrew Miller - disappointingly average
    Heavy Water Martin Amis - inconsistently good short stories
    I, the Divine Rabih Alameddine
    The Sportswriter Richard Ford - bloody excellent!
    Cat's Eye Margaret Atwood - very good
    Immigrants Your Country Needs Them Philippe Le Grain - Lacked any real substance and I knew most of it already


    Currently Reading:
    Blindness Jose Saramago - excellent thus far!

    The very disappointing "Non-Violence, the History of a Dangerous Idea" - Mark Kurlansky. Was given Alan Hollinghursts "Line of Beauty" which was actually awful stuff (read seventy pages)... I did read Tony ward's "Life at Number 10", but that's hardly literature. January is a bad month for me so far. Anybody know of any saving grace?
    Preferably something with a bit of engineering or literary craft to it. I seem to be finding everything boring or otherwise unbearable lately.
