What Is Normal, Anyway?
I went to the library the other evening. As I went in, a woman was standing at the counter venting to the long-suffering staff about something. Because I walked in half way through, I don't know what her complaint was (I have a feeling she was annoyed at getting fined for returning books late), but I was in time to hear this pearl of wisdom:
"a normal person doesn't read more than one book a week"

"Orpheus Rising"
by Bateman
As I have mentioned previously, I am a big fan of Christopher Brookmyre and have read everything he has produced - often several times over. So having exhausted those books, I turned to an author that I had heard is similar, Colin Bateman (although the "Colin" seems to be MiA recently, presumably for dubious marketing reasons).
