I have just finished reading "Ghosts of Manilla" by James Hamilton-Paterson which is a thriller but reads like a documentary and dissects the past and Manilla itself through the stories of the four main characters. Hard work but very good.
I am currently reading "We Need to Talk About Kevin" by Nigel Shriver which is about Kevin, who sets about killing his classmates and a teacher one day in school. The story is told via letters from Kevins mother to his absent father whilst she visits him in prison - mostly concerning his upbringing.
Next in line, I have "Sex Lies and Handlebar Tape" the story of Jacques Anquetil. You know him..... He used drugs, used money as his main motivation for cycling, trained on champagne and langoustines then set about seducing the wife of his doctor, had a child with his stepdaughter (a threesome he kept going for twelve years) then managed to have a child with his stepsons wife. Should be interesting.
