I'm almost caught up with unwatched DVDs so I suppose I ought to try harder to clear some of the books, but sometimes I get started (Atonement/The Time Traveller's Wife/etc.) and then either get bored or just feel like reading something else (Iain Bank's Whit took me three goes to get started for some reason) and occasionally I just get annoyed, Reamde is one (because it began to feel like he was just adding extra stuff in for no reason at all and the story was quickly vanishing - I doubt I'll ever bother to finish it).
And Steve Vai's 10 hour workout, again.
Re-reading The Real Frank Zappa Book also, most entertaining

Just finished 8 Lives Down, about British Army bomb disposal in Iraq.
About to Start Bobby Moore's biography.
Ringleader of the Cambridge cartel, pedal champ and king of the dirt boxes (down to 21)
Into the Wild - Jon Krakauer
Going to Sea in a Sieve - Danny Baker
"Revival" by Stephen King - remarkably good, recommended to any Lovecraft/Machen fans;
"The Quarry", the final novel from Iain Banks and suitably elegiac;
"Waging Heavy Peace" by Neil Young - just remarkable;
Next will be "Esio Trot" and then probably back to the serious stuff.
Getting on with 'Life' by Keef now. I tried before but got distracted so have started again.
Interest piqued by Hobbit III film, thought I'd checkout the alleged sources - Silmarillion & Unfinished tales for links between Hobbit & LOTR.
Silmarillion is turgid stuff - pseudo Norse creationist legends (and extended self-congratulatory editor notes by Christopher Tolkien) - not sure if l'm going last.
Might have to bail for some Crime Noir or Space Opera SF.
