Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Phillip K. Dick

I read this April 2014
For Waterstones Book Club

This was made into the film Bladerunner.

I loved this book, so much so everytime it picked it up I was transported into this post apocalyptic World.
About a time when all that's left on Earth are the epope, who couldn't get away, mechanical animals and Androids.

A great book

The Final Act of Mr Shakespeare by Robert Winder

I read this April 2014
Lent to me by Rosie Irish
A delightful book about Shaakespeare being ordered by the King to write another play after retiring.
One thing I especially liked was the use of actual real-life people in a fictional setting, no need to explain who anyone was, what they had done, what they looked like or dressed like... very useful as there is a lot of plot line.
