Books books and more books

I've been on a bit of a reading binge recently.
My tally is constantly hitting one a week. Sounds low, but it averages out to 52 books a year.

That'd be good, if it weren't for the fact that on average I buy or bought (when in the UK) 4 books for every one read.

It's hardly my fault there are so many amazing novels out there.

Here's a few I've read in the last month;

One Englishman's journey from one end of Japan to another using shoe rubber and a fluency in the language.
A joy from beginning to end.

Not just a collection of shorts (some good some bad) but a guide from the start of an exceptional career. How it all began.

Four shorts and everyone an original. The title tale tells how one businessman sees exploration and the only way to fund the expedition may very well be in optioning off the Moon herself.

Think War of the Worlds, but with Jellyfish and told through the eyes of a pair of journalists.
Highly recommended. Just can't understand why in a Hollywood where originality is so stale, this classic of sci-fi hasn't been told?
