Post Office – Charles Bukowski
Post Office by Charles Bukowski is a novel about one of life’s losers as he moves between jobs, gambling, women and drinking. Centred around his boring job working for the U.S. Post Service, it’s frank, crude and very funny and at 160 pages it can be read in a day. Highly recommended.No comments on Post Office – Charles Bukowski -

My dad, in colour
It’s been a wet afternoon and I’ve not yet started a new book. I recently came into possession of this old black and white photo of my dad from 1950. I’ve attempted to put some colour into the image using some rather crude Photoshop techniques. I think I’ve added something of value to the original image but I’ve no idea if my dad would have approved of the colours!

A Fraction of the Whole – Steve Toltz
A Fraction of the Whole by Steve Toltz is a long read! At 700+ pages, this is a rambling, preposterous and bizarre tale. At the 200-page mark I seriously questioned whether I wanted to spend a chunk of my life on this. Well I continued but I’m not convinced I made the right decision! Some will love this book, so I’ll hang on to it in case someone I know wants to give it a go.When starting a new book I usually switch to a different bookmark from my small collection. For my next book I will be using this unusual bookmark which advertises a taxi company.

Cold in July
Cold in July is a rubbish film. Slow and plodding, disjointed and lacking in tension and with a poorly executed violent ending, it’s deeply unsatisfying. This sort of thing was done so much better in the magnificent Blood Simple and A History of Violence. The Soho Curzon is undergoing refurbishment and is a mess. Fingers crossed it will be as good as it was.
