Book finished, book begun

Book finished: 'The Broken Shore’ by Peter Temple. People have been telling me for years to read this book, so I finally picked it up, read the first page and was hooked. The train trips to Melbourne and back seemed to take about 5 minutes each whilst reading this beauty. Phew! To think I might have missed that dialogue. And that prose! And Cashin, the coolest cop ever.

Book begun: ‘number9dream’ by David Mitchel. I'm already rereading passages just for the sheer pleasure of letting the words wash through my eyeballs - if that actually makes sense.
