What have you been reading recently?

Trevor put this as a comment on Alice, but it needs more prominence:

Not much discussion going on here Tom! How about a ‘what’ve you been reading recently’ strand? Anybody out there read The Night Watch? I wonder what you thought of the back to front time scheme? Been done once or twice before, I know. I found it frustrating. What drives a narrative is ‘what happens next?’ rather than, ‘How did we get here?’. And however hard you try, individual sections still have to be written in a forwards direction so it’s kind of counter productive. Other opinions?

Quite – so come on folks, let us know!
