I finished Game of Thrones today. Amazing. Loads more backstory than the TV show

Went through my bookshelves yesterday and pulled out all the ones I haven't read yet. A 2 ft high pile.
Sigh.
Electric Eden" documents one of the great untold stories of British music over the past century. While ostensibly purporting to be a history of that much derided (though currently fashionable) four-letter word, 'folk', "Electric Eden" will be a magnificent survey of the visionary, topographic and esoteric impulses that have driven the margins of British visionary folk music from Vaughan Williams and Holst to The Incredible String Band, Nick Drake, John Martyn and Aphex Twin.
I read The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter when I was about 20 but didn't think much of it at the time. I suspect it is the kind of book I'd like if I read it now. It'll have to wait.
Why?
The City & The City by China Miéville. It was alright. The first half was very enjoyable schlocky page-turner detective stuff. No character development at all, not much in the way of scene setting, shite dialogue and so on but the exciting plot kept it going. it went off the rails towards the end and finished up like an episode of scooby doo. there may or may not have been masks pulled off baddies heads. 3 out of 5.
