Reading
Eric Newby: A Traveller's Life (Picador Books)
Dad passed this along to me, figuring it might be the sort of thing I'd read (as opposed to himself). Egotistical as most autobiographies tend to be, but what an interesting life all the same.Aamer Hussein: Insomnia
A collection of short stories -- uneven, as most are -- but with some remarkably affecting story lines.John Harvey: Darkness & Light: A Frank Elder Mystery
I liked his last one, Ash & Bone.
