This week I finished James Herbert's Rats trilogy. I was getting pretty bored with the 3rd book so halfway through I skipped to the last chapter to see how it ended. Nothing about the ending was a surprise and I'm glad I did. The first two books are far better at half the length.
I also started Eisenhorn by Dan Abnett (WH40k). I did not get on with the writing style and dropped it quickly.
I'm now reading Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism by Sarah Wynn-Williams which is an account of her years at Facebook. It's as awful as you might imagine and sometimes worse. I can't stop reading it though, like not being able to look away from a car crash.
