I have

way too many books on the go at the moment. I couldn't resist the Peter Hook Hacienda book, so I started on that last night, and also dipped back into Chris Mullin's A View from the Foothills – the collection of his political diaries I started reading some time in early '09 – as he was one of Michael Portillo's guests on a BBC4 programme last night about political diarists. And, as mentioned below, I also have three novels on the go. Oh, and a Patricia Highsmith biography. Argh! Too many books!
