Review: James Sallis – Drive
I had been wanting to read this book since I saw the film last year and found out it was based on a book by James Sallis. When I saw it in the shop and realised how short it was, it didn’t really surprise me, since Ryan Gosling seemed to say about 10 words during…

Now Reading: James M. Cain – Double Indemnity
I’ve had this book on my shelf for ages and the last few times I’ve gone to choose what book to read, this one has caught my attention. It’s part of a set of books I bought that have been made into successful films, and this one was apparently made in 1944 (the book was…

Review: Nicholas Sparks – The Lucky One

Now Reading: Suzanne Collins – The Hunger Games
I don’t really know what this book is about, but I’ve seen a LOT of blog posts about it when I’ve been browsing WordPress book-related blogs. There’s a film coming out soon, so I want to read the books before the film comes out so that I can decide whether I want to see the…
