Eternally curious geek. Mostly read SF, fantasy and funny stuff. Also like popular science books and recently got into graphic novels. Looking for alternative to corporate platforms for logging this.

Another nice mystery. A mix of crime-solving pensioners and violent drug dealers. Mr Osman tells a good story.

Coping with getting older
I've been a fan of Mr Herring for a while. I listen to some of his podcasts and have seen him live a couple of times. I bought this book and got it signed at the last one. It is about him approaching 40 whilst living a life of excessive drinking and lots of partners and being a performing comedian. That was nearly 20 years ago. He is settled down with a wife and kids now, but he did seem to be off the rails then. He is quite honest about it all. I could empathise with some of it, but I had a much more stable life at that time. I'm sure some people would consider some of his actions disgraceful. An interesting read, but maybe not for everyone.

Very lightweight and less funny than I hoped. It was an Xmas gift.
A very varied selection of stories. I loved that one was set in my home town of Bedford. He has a real way with words and descriptions.
