They're just the ones I happen to have given to me. Fortunately it doesn't matter most of the time as the books are mostly unconnected and tend to start and finish the same way. I'm going to have to watch Man On Fire again soon.... that's the real Reacher movie.

Never saw what the fuss was with that film.

The comics continue. I'm still reading Robocop Last Stand cos it isn't costing me anything, but Frank Miller really is just a slimeball these days. Rover Red Charlie unfortunately has reverted to Ennis' usual 'this is so sick it MUST be funny' shtick, but is still good in the main. The Army of Dr. Moreau is consistently excellent even though it really needs to be proof-read before publication An old Batman spin-off called GCPD was pretty good, though the gritty nature doesn't fit the artwork any more TMNT continues to be awesome.

Incognito's pretty good (comic).
I'm going to catch up on Terminator and Sons of Anarchy, but it's all over the place in comparison to the show.

I've just downloaded Odd Apocalypse and Deeply Odd. Really looking forward to reading them as I love the Odd series.
Dean Koontz FTW!

Stephen King to publish two novels in 2014 http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/f ... 14-revivalI've never read a single book of his the whole way through. Nobody's fault but my own.

Just read a line about biographies on the Guardian website and I've realised I've never truly enjoyed a biography, I'm usually reading it just for the 'facts'. Even rock band bios that are generally more exciting in this area, it's more like a ridiculously long article that I dip into. The only exceptions to this I can think of are criminal/terrorist bios where it all flows better.
You?

I occasionally read a biography or autobiography. I enjoyed the Steve Jobs bio (though it's hard to like him, of course), but apart from that biographies aren't usually my first choice. In a similar vein, I remember buying the Kenneth Williams Diaries when they were published in 1994 and being absolutely engrossed as his life was laid painfully bare for the reader. I think I read it three times consecutively and often dip into it now.

Yeah, I stuck with that Jobs one just for all the incidental stuff it threw up; he really was an odious little sh1t.
