Current reading
by Giles Turnbull
Just finished:
- Dalek I Loved You by Nick Griffiths; enjoyable but not quite as Who-packed as I expected. There’s a lot of shy-lad-from-the-middle-classes, and some of the lists feel like unnecessary padding. But the bits about Doctor Who, and specific stories from it, are fun.
- Advertising Photography by Lou Lesko; Lou sent me a copy of this and I found it fascinating – partly because I know nothing about the world of professional photography, in advertising or any other field, so it was intriguing to discover it; and partly because some of Lou’s practical tips for managing time, projects, people and workload translate well to freelance journalism too. Thanks for the book, Lou.
- Jennifer Government, by Max Barry; an enjoyable satirical thriller which has sat unread on the bookshelf for years, since I picked it up in a charity shop on impulse. Fun.
Now digesting The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, because I’ve never read any of it before.
Giles,
Many thanks for the kind words about my book.
Lou
