Keep Laughing, Chris McCausland
It's fine. A basic pop bio.

Apple: The First 50 Years, David Pogue
It's fine. Having grown up alongside this company, I didn't learn anything new, really. But it's fine. A good summary.

A Doll's House, Henrik Ibsen
must be better, performed. I couldn't really follow anyone's emotions. A translation problem?

Halcyon Years, Alastair Reynolds
The noir thing doesn't interest me, so this was slow going at first. The action in the last third/quarter really hit the spot though, even if plot a little patchy. Lots of metaphors one could make. Far from perfect but glad to have read it.

The Long Shoe, Bob Mortimer
As much as I like BM, the humor's just a little too wacky. (Same as his shows, really.)

To Catch A Spy , Tim Tate
Not my usual fare but interesting and enraging.
