Short, fun travel tales!
I haven’t done this for ages, so it seems the perfect time to publicise my short collection of lighthearted travel tales. “Australia, Morocco, and Thailand. Three True Travel Stories”.
Alan Partridge: Nomad
Nomad is one of the funniest books I have ever read. I guess it helps if you know Alan Partridge as his voice read the book in my head and was all the funnier for it. This is now literally the case as I have also downloaded the audiobook (read by Coogan/ Partridge).
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is a great read and it doesn’t really matter if this is your first Poirot or Christie novel.
Cooperworld – a short story
Cooperworld is a 17,000 word short story that looks at the nature of intelligence and consciousness and how meaningless those terms might be.
Australia, Morocco, Thailand. Three true travel stories
I usually give the blurb I wrote but instead I thought it would be nice to include a couple of reviews written on the US Amazon website.
The Killing Floor by Lee Child
Someone recommended The Killing Floor, and Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series generally, so I thought I would give it a go. This is the first Jack Reacher book and I have to say, I mostly loved it.

Danny Boyle’s Frankenstein starring Cumberbatch and Miller

The Uneven Passage of Time
I’m not just plugging my awesome eBook because I haven’t done so for 6 months, (although that would be reason enough,) I’m plugging it because I am going to release a new one!
The Uneven Passage of Time
If you buy one book this year make it this one. And also read more, that’s pathetic.

Robert Harris’s latest book is a thriller set in the exciting world of high finance and computing. The fact that it is genuinely thrilling, given the topics, is testament to Harris’s skill.
