I have just completed reading ‘Red Spikes‘. It is a delightful collection of short stories that has really fired my imagination. My favourites were ‘Winkie’, ‘A Feather in the Breat of God’ and ‘Under Hell, Over Heaven’, yet each was a special little adventure into a surreal, yet familiar somehow landscape. ‘Under Hell, Over Heaven’ was especially thought provoking and brought up fears and thoughts so young and forgotton in me.

I read ‘Black Juice‘ last year and found it terribly good. I have ‘White Time‘ on my bedside table and will dig into it soon.

I’m finally reading Billy Connelly’s biography. I am a fan. I have seen him twice in Melbourne. He is returning soon I hear and I will have to pass, for lots of reasons. I would enjoy it. I have never laughed so much than when I saw his shows. It was a great workout for my stomach muscles.

I am finishing ‘The Road to Camelot’ a collection of Authurian short stories edited by Sophie Masson. So far my favourite was Isobelle Carmody’s story about Guinevere.

I’ve just started ‘Rasberries on the Yangtze’ by Karen Wallace.

I am looking forward over the next few weeks to collecting a pile of books for my summer reading. Any suggestions anyone?
