Book Club

I finished the Black Dahlia the other night. It was a very enjoyable read, and didn't fall into the trap of having a cop-out ending that I kind of thought it would do. In fact, I'd enjoyed reading it so much I dodn't really care about the ending and the myriad of twists and turns that came in final pages was a pleasurable bonus. I often take issue with the ending of books and films, often it's all too easy to create a complex storyline only for the ending to leave you wholly unsatisfied. As a result I am half-hoping that Lost never actually comes to a conclusion on TV. Either that or I lose interest before it does.

Next on my reading list is a couple of books of short stories that i picked up from Amazon. I don't think I'll read them all in one go, but dip in and out over time. I need to pick up some other book to fill the gaps, although having said that I do have quite a full bookshelf of stuff I've never read.

Also, I'm going to rent the movie of the Black Dahlia. After having read it I can't imagine how they might film it though.
