Still ploughing my way through *»Doriot*» by Jean Paul Brunet, story of Jaques Doriot, the Leader of the Parti Popular Français who went from being the leading Communist in France in the 1930s to become a leading fascist collaborator under the Nazi occupation.

Vineland is also fantastic by Pynchon, I've read it three times now which is a rarity for me.

Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin's War on America and the Election of Donald Trump by Michael Isikoff and David Corn. A meaty companion piece to Collusion: How Russia Helped Trump Win the White House by Luke Harding. Both are essential reading, especially now.

they're the best books, ask anyone. All Trump books are widely acknowledged to be the books ever written.

They be best. Not very entertaining, though, like Fire and Fury. Sad.

Started Sleeping in the Ground, an DCI Banks novel by Peter Robinson. Rollicking good fun but I can't help picturing Stephen Tompkinson in the role after seeing the TV adaptations.

Just finished reading Kate Atkinson's "When Will There be Good News."

 

Brilliantly crafted plot, with a shocking, harrowing opening chapter.

 

Now an A Level lit. set text, but don't let that put you off!
