If you are a fan of Ellis (as I am) you might want to stay away from this one:
I was adviced to give it a miss but didn't listen. Now I partly wish I hadn't read it. It's not total shite, just a bit ... meh... which is a long fall from his earlier heights.
Really? I got that at the weekend, and to be honest, apart from the Less than Zero sequel, wasn't expecting great things from it. I've not really enjoyed his writing since Glamorama, but I like the fact that he's become a self parody.
I also bought David Byrne's Bicycle Diaries, about four years after it was published. But as Corny points out - no bus commute means no normal reading time, and having a book on me at all times is something I need to remind myself to do.
