I'm going to be catching the train to work instead of driving soon
meaning I'm going to have about 3 extra hours a day reading time.

In preparation for this, I've got a whole stack of books including the Gormenghast trilogy, Strangers by Taichi Yamada, Audition by Ryu Murakami and a few Sci Fi bits picked up cheaply from The Works.

I'm quite looking forward to it as I haven't had time to read anything deeper that a few comics and mangas for a few months now.

Have that on DVD
Jonathan-Rhys-Meyer and all. Good but not as good as the book, and far too colourful

Yes, yes, indeedy.
One of my favourites. And the illustrations too.
I could drone on for hours about Peake's work.
