Just finished the second of Mick Herron’s Slough House thrillers. This is a great series so far…MI-5 personnel who have fucked up on the job are assigned to the Slow Horses (Slough House). Wackiness ensues. Actually not wackiness, but very tense, well written taut thrillers. Starting on the third one this weekend.
Also picked up The Mother Tongue by Bill Bryson. It’s been my bedside book couple of nights now. Really fun look at the English language, and how its used and abused, and how it’s evolved.
In my spare time, I’m re-reading Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Nuevel as an intro to the new Themis Files book coming out this month.
