Just finished A Confederacy Of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. It's fucking glorious, like my favourite book . .. ever. Ignatius is certainly one of the great comic creations

Also been dipping in and out of JG Ballard's Short Stories 1. The only previous Ballard I've read, Cocaine Nights, was decent but nothing more so it's great to see what he's really all about. I love the ideas he brings to the stories and the subtlety in which he creates surreal set ups. And you get the feeling there is always something sinister going on in his worlds, even if it's never made apparent. 'Escapement' 'The Concentration City', 'Manhole 69' and 'The Waiting Grounds' are the highlights so far. 'Escapement' especially left me feeling unsettled, to the point that I was contemplating how sanity/the mind is such a fragile thing, and had a dream that night with the same Groundhog Day scenario.

Can anyone recommend me a book on WW1? I'm looking for an in-depth text leading up to covering and the aftermath of WW1. Any help is really appreciated.

The Oxford Companion to The First World War is pretty useful as a starting point.

Ringworld—Larry Niven
On my continuing sci-fi kick. This is great, super-geeky, very strange stuff. I'm almost done and really enjoying it.
