I’ve had a good run of books lately, and I think I will share them with you… Ten years ago, I went to university in America for a bit, and whilst there discovered the joys of Dave Barry’s syndicated newspaper column — very entertaining (the chap now has, inevitably, a weblog). Dave wrote his first novel a few years back, and I recommend it. Big Trouble is funny, but Barry reigns in the laughs a little bit in favour of crafting a most entertaining thriller vaguely in the mould of Elmore Leonard.

Now, obligatory tech mention. Would you believe, I’m still working through Head First Java. Ha ha! What can I say, I take my time. Work keeps getting in the way of just sitting down and reading this book. But I’m still really enjoying it, and hope to move on to Head First EJB Certification soon.

FInally, I’ve also read a couple of novels by Dan Brown entitled Deception Point and Angels And Demons respectively. They’re both excellent, well-researched, well-written and… exciting, especially the latter.

The End. :-)
