Read any Tom Sharpe recently Grant?
I'm thinking of digging mine out and reading them again. I've not read one for years. Fine humour.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

Red Rising Series by Pierce Brown
People compare it to The Hunger Games which is a great injustice. Katniss is a pussycat, these are real dogs of war.

Just read (in one sitting, it's a short book) 'The Other Side of the Fire' by Alice Thomas Ellis. Funny, but a strange ending.

Just started 'A Tale Etched in Blood and Hard Black Pencil' by Christopher Brookmyre. Seems promising so far. I like his writing.
