#LunchtimeReading : forthcoming Elif Shafak. My TBR is large enough to be seen from the space station, but Elif *always* goes to the top of that tottering pile.

#LunchtimeReading : the legendary Frank Miller talks us through some of his iconic #comics works in Push the Wall. Many thanks to Edinburgh's own @canongatebooks for sending me a copy.

#LunchtimeReading : thoroughly enjoying the new John of the Night graphic novel by my chum, Darryl Cunningham, published by the excellent Avery Hill (a great UK indie comics publisher) crew.
A departure from his run of quite excellent, non-fiction graphic novels, back to SF.

#LunchtimeReading : advance copy of The Book Was Better, by Louise Willder, coming from One World Books in October, about our love- hate relationship with cinema adaptations of beloved books.
As a confirmed cinephile & bibliophile, this should be right up my literary alley...

#LunchtimeReading : a long overdue revisit to Homer. I read The Odyssey back when I was doing Classical Studies (the only subject I ever won the school prize for).
Now reading Emily Wilson's rather superb, newer translation ahead of Nolan's upcoming film. Been meaning to read her acclaimed version, then saw Nolan name-check it in an interview, so it's time.

"You cannot kill what doessss not live..."
#LunchtimeReading : revisiting an old superfiend, with the 2000AD Judge Death Mega Special, with cover artwork (of course!) by the mighty Brian Bolland, nicely timed for the spooky season.
And yes, I have been reading this comic so long I remember Bolland drawing his anti-life character way back in his original appearance!

#LunchtimeReading : surprise gift from a dear friend, who picked up Jacques Tardi's Du Rififi a Menilmontant when she was in France (my favourite French comics creator). Good practice for my French too!

#LunchtimeReading : going old school with Bob Siverberg's Downward to the Earth, the July pick for the #Edinburgh SF Book Group.
Read so much Silverberg in my teens & twenties, but it's been ages since I last read him, rather enjoying it, like meeting an old friend.

#LunchtimeReading : just starting an advance copy of Earth Shapers - How Humans Mastered Geography & Remade the World, by Maxim Samson, coming in August from Profile Books

#LunchtimeReading : catching up on the most recent Progs of the mighty 2000 AD. Enjoying the drokk out of a short, Judge Dredd Vs Strontium Dog, which links back to a classic Dredd/Johnny Alpha from several decades ago.
Penned by Garth Ennis, while the fab Henry Flint carefully shades some nods to the late Carlos Ezquerra into his artwork here, a nice touch for the fans but also, I am sure a sign of respect to the master.

#LunchtimeReading : starting The Sun Rising by Prof Anna Whitelock.
Confused our poor Bloomsbury Books rep when he told us they had a new book about James I, and I asked which, Jimmy I, or Jimmy VI & I? 😋
