    Memnoch the devil

    Out of the Chronicles, I've read Interview With The Vampire, Queen of the Damned, Vampire Lestat, The Tale of the Body Thief and Memnoch. Out of all of them, I would have to say that Body Thief is among my favourites, or so I remember (I've only read them all once so far, and my memory is...

    The new Nick Hornby, anyone?

    I've just finished A Long Way Down and I would like to say that it is definitely worth a read. Hornby confronts the different factors that drive people to contemplate suicide, and then events that can make them change their mind. Four very different characters, with each of them getting to...

    What do you use as a bookmark?

    I'm also strongly against the heinous crime of turning down the corners of pages. Most of my family do this, so I try to avoid lending my books to them. At the moment I'm using a black ribbon that used to be part of my wallet: it's good because it's long enough to stick out at both ends of...

    What's the WORST book you ever read?

    The first one that springs to mind is The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum. It's just so extremely long-winded, dull and repetitive. And then I made the mistake of reading The Bourne Supremacy to see whether it improved. It didn't.

    Books set in China/Japan?

    For China I would recommend The Noodle Maker by Ma Jian: It's a small collection of stories written about by the fictional writer in the main plot, which all interlink and tell the 'truth about living in China'. In parts it can be quite funny. As for Japan, along with Memoirs of a Geisha I...

    I just finished reading...
