I went on a buying spree last week and grabbed 5 books in a single session. Most of them were fairly different from my usual picks, having crime or horror as their themes. 
I finished Under the Skin by Michel Faber after a passionate 4 days and was completely enthralled by it. I don’t want to give much away, but suffice to say that when I described it to Kim she was fairly sickened and didn’t want to hear much more about it. The minutae of the day-to-day life of Isserley, a female driver who picked up only muscular male hitchhikers was gradually revealed in all its horror. There were shades of James Herbert and Jonathan Swift and the pacing was superb. Not for the squeamish though. 4.5 stars. I’ll be reading more of his for sure.
