Diogenes Jan 2017 8:01pm, 20 Jan 2017 20,214 posts	0 Diogenes Actually, Steampunk is completely the wrong term. More like hardboiled Magnus Mills
Diogenes Jan 2017 8:02pm, 20 Jan 2017 20,215 posts	0 Diogenes (I thought I knew what Steampunk was but I didn't until I just googled it)
Chrisull Jan 2017 8:17pm, 20 Jan 2017 10,535 posts	0 Chrisull Also for Post office fans - Factotum and Women by him are also great although his attitude to women in Women can jar a bit at times. And then there's the short stories and poems, both worthy of your time too.
Chrisull Jan 2017 8:22pm, 20 Jan 2017 10,536 posts	0 Chrisull Finished Broken Harbour - the 4th Dublin squad, and probably the best I've read so far, the ending is emotionally devastating, the interplay between the characters is what makes it, I'm not sure it is detective fiction a lot of the time, political commentary in there, believable and beautifully sketched characters, cracking dialogue, and the books remain very different from each other, the second one could be of a kin to "The Secret History", this one was a descent into madness. Trying to avoid starting number 5 straightaway and reading something else for a change...
Night-owl Jan 2017 8:29pm, 20 Jan 2017 27,083 posts	0 Night-owl Chris I did read that when deciding whether to read it or not did put me off a bit But have book now so will give it ago Finished The Reproductive System. A SF book apparently but did enjoy it
LindsD Jan 2017 9:13pm, 20 Jan 2017 14,770 posts	0 LindsD I'm reading the new William Boyd. V easy reading.
Columba Jan 2017 9:23pm, 20 Jan 2017 12,239 posts	0 Columba Yes, there's not much sex in Magnus Mills. It happens, but it's not described.

Diogenes Jan 2017 12:05pm, 21 Jan 2017 20,223 posts	0 Diogenes I won a book in a Goodreads giveaway. It's The Trouble With Goats And Sheep by Joanna Cannon, and it arrived in the post today.
