What are people reading?

Post by Purple »

Somebody didn't post the obligatory Book thread.
Now how will Joe Public feel when he has ignorance of what's on the Loose Ass Gamers bedside tables?

What are you reading? *

Work, painting, gaming and a hectic social life has hammered my reading this year. It’s mostly online these days, articles on all sorts of various things. I’m trying to work my way throuhh the Kronoskaf wiki. It’s quite excellent

He'll probably guess any one or more of the following:-
* glass of water with false teeth
* glass of water without false teeth
* glass eye
* hairpiece
* CPAP breathing mask
* emergency heart medication
* non-emergency heart medication
* fur-lined handcuffs
* cat (or cuddly toy)
* canteen of cutlery
* microwave
* novelty lava lamp
* escape map in case her husband comes home unexpectedly

You may vote for more than one of the above......

The Strange Affair of Spring-Heeled Jack by Mark Hodder.

A Victorian steam/eugenics-punk novel with some very nice twists and featuring the explorer Richard Burton and the poet Algernon Swinburne as our intrepid dectecives.

Hodder's a bit tell not show but I'm having fun imaging re-writing it as a TV series and it has some cracking ideas.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

I'm reading about the 1809 campaign. Very interesting.
