  1. A great selection, Terry. I was bowled over by "We need to talk about Kevin" years ago but I wouldn't want to see the film. "Tales Of Empire" sounds like a good read.

  2. Lionel Shriver's "The Mandibles" is superb - probably the most frightening dystopian novel I've read. No Zombies, no plagues, no aliens, no asteroids. Just the collapse of the Western economies and the chaos that follows. It feels so real that one is chilled when reading - and teh wonderful humour throughout makes it no less so.
