It’s all going well so far, and I’ve got into a great habit of getting up at around 6.30am and putting a minimum of 40 pages in the bank. So far I’ve read:

The Junior Officers Reading Club – Patrick Hennessey. Life as an Officer in the British Army, including active service periods in Iraq and Afganistan.

On Writing – Stephen King. An autobiographical look at King’s trade through his own eyes. Fascinating.

One Day – David Nicholls. A beautifully written novel full of similarities to the lives and experiences of many. Focussed on the interactions of two college friends as they grow up.

And The Hippos Were Boiled In Their Tanks – William Burroughs and Jack Kerouac. Summer in wartime New York City, punctuated by booze, freeriding and murder.

And I’ve just started Anonymous Lawyer – Jeremy Blachman. The fictitious blogging exploits of a hiring partner at a top US firm. Hilarious but sadly it appears to be very close to the truth.
