I Can Make You Hate – Charlie Brooker
When things are not going your way, Charlie Brooker’s I Can Make You Hate will cheer you up no end! He rants and raves in succinct, two-page doses. There are lots and lots of laugh-out-loud moments. This is highly recommended to those who can handle it!No comments on I Can Make You Hate – Charlie Brooker -

Rogue Male – Geoffrey Household
Written the 1939, this is a good, old-fashioned thriller full of escapes and chases, involving torture and murder, ships and hideouts. The blurb on the front states it’s “Simply the best escape and pursuit story yet written”. It’s a fine read and a recommended one. -
Four Days in November, The Assassination of JFK – Vincent Bugliosi
Four Days in November, The Assassination of John F. Kennedy, by Vincent Bugliosi, is a magnificent narrative covering the days surrounding the assassination of JFK.At over 500 pages I thought it would take me a month to read, but it took me just 4 days! It’s beautifully written and reads like a novel.
In a previous book the author examined the case and the many conspiracy theories, but in this book he simply tells it as he sees it.
Very highly recommended.

September books
Being still diverted by other things this month, I might have read just two books if I hadn’t manage to squeeze in a couple of easy reads at the end of the month.The Dave Eggers novel sticks out because it was so readable and different.
- Electric – Chad Taylor [An OK, slow-burning thriller]
- Your Fathers, Where Are They? And the Prophets, Do They Live Forever? – Dave Eggers [Brilliant. Highly recommended]
- Confessions of a Sociopath – M.E. Thomas [OK, but overlong. Bit of an eye-opener]
- The Aftermath – Rhidian Brook [Recommended. Looks set to become a movie!]
For October I’ve got lined up a mammoth read, bought for 50p, Vincent Bugliosi’s Four Days in November – The Assassination of John F.Kennedy. It’s a weighty 500 pages and I’m not sure I’ll see it through to the end, but if I do, it will surely take me the whole month!

Your Fathers, Where Are They…? – Dave Eggers
Your Fathers, Where Are They? And the Prophets, Do They Live Forever? by Dave Eggers is a fabulous novel. 220 pages of dialogue, it’s probably like nothing you’ve read before. Quirky, weird, tense, stressful, breathless, you should read it in a day, or 2 at most!A great story, highly readable and highly recommended.
