Welcome to Litsy!

Four books read this week. one was a short story collection that I had been working on for a few weeks, another was PK Dick's Electric Dreams & two bleak, unsettling works of dark literary fiction: Iain Banks' Complicity & Cormac McCarthy's Child of God. My favorites were the Banks & the McCarthy.

A journalist is addicted to a lot of things: speed, cigarettes, his computergame, whisky and his mistress. In between his addictions he writes for a Scottish newspaper and is trapped into a murder investigation. He is beign acccused of being the murderer of all those evil-men-who-deserved-it?
What follows is a smart story about responsibility, friendship, betrayal and yes, complicity. #1001books
