    Aside from reading I enjoy painting, photography, video games and from time to time I even get to work on my novel... which technically I could be doing right now... I also work on perfecting my chocolate chip cookies and adding to my collection of tattoos, not at the same time though, that'd be fraught with danger and slightly unhygienic.

    I would also say I like music, but given that it's a statement used by anyone from the most dedicated and discerning to the moron who likes music in the same way that a sheep likes grass, and is therefore virtually meaningless, I'll refrain. But yeah, music's good too.

About Me

I'm an English expat living in the Netherlands with my wife and our son who was born in February 2012. I read a fair bit but don't often get to talk to other people about it. To give you some idea about my tastes so far this year the books I've read for the first time are:

 

Fiction-

Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk

Money by Martin Amis

White Teeth by Zadie Smith

The Red House by Mark Haddon

Snuff by Terry Pratchett

Lionel Asbo - Martin Amis

NW -Zadie Smith

Juliet, Naked - Nick Hornby

 

Non-fiction-

Life On Air by David Attenborough

Quest For The Lost World by Brian Blessed

The Dig Tree by Sarah Murgatroyd

500 Mile Walkies by Mark Wallington

Neither Here Nor There, Made In America, The Life & Times Of The Thunderbolt Kid all by Bill Bryson

 

My favourite non-fiction book is probably A Spot Of Bother by Mark Haddon because his depiction of middle-class England makes me laugh so hard with self-aware cynicism and I tend to find myself drawn towards works that deal with an individual's solitude, be it imagined or real.
