I’m not a typical Irvine Welsh fan. In fact, I didn’t manage to finish the novel “Trainspotting” and I kind of hated the movie, even with Ewan McGregor. I am not particularly in love with his stylization either - the mannerisms can be annoying and his tendency to write …

I’ve really enjoyed reading Mercedes Lackey’s oeuvre as a teenager; the books in her Heralds series made for an extremely quick read, it was amusing and involving, the protagonists were likable and, most importantly, it was a page-turner that you couldn’t put down before getting to the last page. …
