David Graeber's Debt: The First 5,000 Years – coincidentally the average amount of time it would now take to pay off a mortgage for a house in London.

Half Forgotten or Sleepwalkers?

Reads more like a list than a narrative at times but interesting.

The other night I watched a film called the conjuring. A horror film that had mevery nearly err mmm swearing. Shortly after that Nihal and andyrm recommended tnat I read stephen kings the mist, so thats what I am doing now.

I understand there may be a sting in the tail so @Nihal and @AndyRM if i have the bejeezus scared out of me because of you two there will be trouble gentlemen.

I finished,the ending in the movie is not as same as the book,there is no ending actually,which made me realise how amazing and horrific the ending in the movie was

 

[andyfraser]

I'm reading "Caves of Steel" by Isaac Asimov and "Why Does E=mc2?" by Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw. I've read it before but I now have "The Quantum Universe" by the same authors and thought I'd get back up to speed with relativity first.

I read Cloud Atlas twice and didn't understand what the hell was going on so I won't be watching the film

I haven't read the book yet (it's on my list) but I loved the film, all 3 hours of it!

Three hours

Three hours

Yes but it didn't feel that long I was that engrossed. The Kindle edition of the book is only £3.66 so I bought it.

Just starting 'Chasing Darkness by Robert Crais. Another one of the Elvis Cole detective books.

I admire your concentration

After four hours of Die Andere Heimat without a break, I came out thinking it had skimped bits of Germany history and should have taken more time.

Okay @Nihal and @AndyRM so there was no ending it leaves the end to your own imagination. Touche to both of you, but still I enjoyed it. Thanks for recommending it.

Just finished Empty Cradles (about child migration), thought it was ok but probably a bit too long and I think I only finished it for the sake of it. Interesting subject though. Now I'm away to start 12 Years a Slave after giving Skagboys (Irvine Welsh) about 20 pages before deciding it's gash. Which is a shame because I used to quite like his stuff.

What's everyone else reading at the moment? Reviews please!

Dead And Buried by Stephen Boothe.All his crime novels based on Derbyshire .

Is it [Sleepwalkers] good?

Sleepwalkers is good, it is anything but a light read though, extremely detailed and requires a lot of concentration.
