To be honest, I’ve got more books on the go than I can possibly manage. Books turn up at my door every day. Either because I’ve got drunk and ordered them, or because some kind soul wants me to review their work, or because I’m obligated to order everything those close to me recommend.
But these books are the main event. At least for the next week or so.
