So, I always find books than I think I want to read and then forget about them. So I'm just going to edit this post with a list of things I might want to read. It's mostly for my own benefit, but hey, you might find something you'd like to read as well.

I thought it was time that we had a new book discussion thread, partly because of a quasi book club and partly because I wanted to have a post to serve as an external memory in remembering certain books.

Also the last thread had breached 100 pages.

I'm about a 100 pages into my The Gone-Away World reread.

My reading has been stalled while I get this busy week done with. Looking forward to continuing.

'Gloriously epic' novel from Nick Harkaway to William Heinemann

Gnomon, which took Harkaway more than three years to complete, is set in a world of ubiquitous surveillance. Pitched as "a mind-bending Borgesian puzzle box of identity, meaning and reality in which the solution steps sideways as you approach it", it features: a detective who finds herself investigating the very society she believes in, urged on by a suspect who may be an assassin or an ally, hunting through the dreams of a torture victim in search of the key to something she does not yet understand; a banker who is pursued by a shark that swallows Fortune 500 companies; Saint Augustine’s jilted mistress who reshapes the world with miracles; a refugee grandfather turned games designer who must remember how to walk through walls or be burned alive by fascists; and a sociopath who falls backwards through time in order to commit a murder.

I am so pumped for this book.
