Zumindest ist der Protagonist gerade so alt wie ich geworden, auch wenn ich dazu zweimal nachdenken musst. Der Plot klingt interessant. #büchernase #lesen #bookstodon

If you are a logophile or perhaps a lexophile, or if you watch British TV, you know the name, Susie Dent. She’s got a new book, a mystery, called Guilty by Definition. TBH I’m not a fan of mysteries, but I am a fan of her, so I picked this up when I saw it. 1 chapter in and I’m hooked. Editors at an Oxford dictionary get a letter that references the year the senior editor’s sister disappeared. #bookstodon

Ausgelesen, das Ende fand ich etwas holprig … #büchernase #lesen #bookstodon #büchergildegutenberg

Just finished reading the latest #SlowHorses novel, Clown Town. Man o man this is a nasty one. Lamb is pissed that his joes keep getting killed, and that Taverner is more or less responsible. Dunno if this one will ever be televised. #recommended

In Agent Running in the Field, Le Carré gave himself a variety of characters through which he could vent his anger at Brexit, Trump, oligarchs, the state of the world & its intelligence services: Ed, Florence, Prue.
The main character, as ever, remains more circumspect but has clear sympathy for the other characters' views #Bookstodon #LeCarré #AmReading

Recientemente en epublibre han publicado la saga de Stephen King "La torre oscura" en un solo volumen, con ilustraciones y todo.
Si desaparezco un tiempo por aquí, ya sabéis una de las posibles causas. #mastolibros #mastobooks

Enjoying the framing of Le Carré's Agent Running in the Field, where it's clear from the beginning that the main character has already confessed his sins to 'the Office'.
I did pause reading once I saw how it might all end in calamity, but I'm glad I picked it back up #Bookstodon #LeCarré #AmReading

Just started reading “Killing the Dead — Vampire Epidemics from Mesopotamia to The New World”, by John Blair. Looks fascinating. 300 pages so it’ll take a while. The idea of the undead has been around for probably as long as we’ve had any awareness of our mortality. Mythologies, oral and written, are chock full of the undead. I’ll try to post snippets of this story as I go along. #bookstodon

Where the Water Goes, by David Owen. Water in the US South West is way more fraught than elsewhere. Who “owns” it, who gets it, and why, have been contentious issues for over 150 years. Basically there’s not enough, but no one wants to cut back. Severe drought isn’…
