Recently picked up an old copy of A Canticle for Leibowitz and am planning on starting that soon. Never got around to reading it. Currently reading Rusting Chickens by Gene O'Neill. It's very good.

'hell train' was excellent, best line being: "Who are we fighting?" "The undead. Pretend they're Germans, it'll make it easier..."
now reading 'give your heart to the hawk' - win blevins, about mountain men in US frontier history and 'savage membrane' steve niles

Aye, Hell Train was good, nostalgic with plenty pithy one-liners and subtlle digs. Before that was Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill which ranks alongside The Damnation Game as one of the best first novels I've ever read.
Currently reading Harbour by John Ajvide Lindqvist which I'm thoroughly enjoying.

been chugging through quite a few books recently, am currently reading 'London Noir' (serpents tail/balck mask) and then a noir novel called 'the corpse wore pasties' by Johnny Porkpie. Recently read ken bruen's 'the killing of the tinkers' and 'the hackman blues' as well as Cathi Unsworth's 'the not knowing' which was very good.

still going through books at a swift rate (hope the bank balance can keep up!) recently finished: "The Corpse wore pasties"-Johnny Porkpie "The House of Silk" - Anthony Horowitz "Promised Land" and "Looking for Rachel Wallace" - Robert B Parker
started "Politics Noir" anthology and will then be moving on to another of Timlin's Sharman novels ("Paint it Black" i think...)

Gotten through Joe Hill's Horns then Tales of The Weak and The Wounded followed by Apartment 16, The Ritual (both by Adam Nevill) and just finished Silent Voices
All were superb. Thought The Ritual was one of the most unremittingly intense things I've read...
Just about to start Shadows and Tall Trees 3
