That's an entertaining read!
I've just finished reading "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest". It took me a while to get used to the writer's style but I'm glad I did. |

I'm reading 'The Pig that Wants to be Eaten' by Julian Baggini and 'Winter Queen' by Boris Akunin. Both pretty decent departures for me.
