• I'm reading 'In Cold Blood' by Truman Capote. Highly recommend it. A proper slow burn of a book, and the careful construction of the main characters is brilliantly done.

    By the way, Platini - First Blood by David Morrell is one of the best books I've ever read - I cannot enthuse enough about it! Honestly, give it a go. It's so ace. It's not great literature, but it's not far off.

    I'm also reading the first proof of my own first novel. Writing is good fun, if a bit difficult at times. Editing takes Herculean efforts of concentration. I'm no Hercules. I'm really struggling.
