  • Recently finished two very different but equally entertaining books.

    White Tiger by Arvinda Adiga was fantastic, a worthy winner of the Booker Prize a few years ago. Disturbing and funny in equal measure and always fascinating.

    Also just finished Things Can Only Get Better, a memoir of John O'Farrell's (HIGNFY/Spitting Image writer) time as a Labour activist between 1979 and 1997. I'm looking forward to getting the sequel now.

    Ooh, I might pick this up. I read The End Of The Party (about the Blair/Brown government's final election and eventual disintegration) by Andrew Rawnsley a few years back and it was such a page-turner.

    I must read more of these political inside story books, I'm never disappointed.

    (I also enjoyed White Tiger)

  • You're welcome to come and grab it if you're in East London, or I could stick it in the post if you PM me.

    I've bought The Third Policeman based on recommendations above.
