SATURDAY
The Russia House by John le Carr!
Barley Blair is not a Service man: he is a small-time publisher and a self-destructive soul whose only loves are whisky and jazz. But it was Barley who was befriended by a high-ranking Soviet scientist and made a promise.
Nearly a year later, his drunken promise returns to haunt him and a reluctant Barley is quickly trained by British Intelligence and sent to Moscow to liaise with a go-between, the beautiful Katya. Both are lonely and disillusioned and each is increasingly certain that if the human race is to have any future, all must betray their countries ...
In his first post-glasnost spy novel, le Carr! captures the effect of a slow and uncertain thaw on ordinary people and on the shadowy puppet-masters who command them.
SUNDAY
The Naming of the Dead by Ian Rankin
The Naming of the Dead is part of the hugely successful Inspector Rebus series of novels.
When a recently-released rapist is murdered, the police are lackadaisical. That is, until Detective Inspector John Rebus and DS Siobhan Clarke uncover evidence that a serial killer is on the loose...
When Rebus also starts looking into the apparent suicide of an MP, he is abruptly warned off the case, not least because the G8 leaders have gathered in Scotland, and Rebus's bosses want him well out of the way. But Rebus has never been one to stick to the rules, and when Siobhan has a very personal reason for hunting down a riot cop, it looks as though both Rebus and Clarke may be up against their own side...

Not a Disc as such but the first goody in a very long while. Starting Monday 30th January, The Grauniad are offering four free audiobook downloads.
Monday: Eat, Pray, Love
It ought to be emphasised that the critically non-acclaimed Julia Roberts movie version has relatively little direct connection to Elizabeth Gilbert's massive bestseller Eat, Pray, Love - an account of her post-divorce quest for personal transformation through romance, good food and spirituality. Gilbert's prose, talents and her knowingness — she's well aware her quest is self-indulgent — are what lift her memoir well above others in the finding-yourself genre.
Tuesday: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Robert Pirsig's "philosophical novel" Zen And The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was reportedly rejected by more than 120 publishers before becoming a dizzyingly successful cult title in the 1970s. In a story that doesn't have much to do with Zen (but a fair amount to do with motorcycle maintenance) Pirsig's nameless narrator recounts a multi-week motorbike journey through the American West with his son, pausing along the way to outline his mind-expanding if occasionally baffling personal philosophy: the "metaphysics of quality". His musings on how to reconcile "romantic" and "rational" views of life have an absorbingly trippy effect that's liable to make you suddenly feel as if you've grasped the meaning of existence, or, failing that, that you urgently need to go on a road-trip across the United States.
Wednesday: Sophie's World
Subtitled "a novel about the history of philosophy", Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World owes something to Pirsig, though it's far less concerned with its author's personal outlook — instead, it's a fictional tour through Western philosophy from ancient Greece to the existentialists — and is aimed at a younger audience. Gaarder's storytelling device has the book's 14-year-old heroine receiving mysterious letters in the mail, outlining the major ideas of the western philosophical tradition. It's a bit odd as a fictional conceit, but an effective way of conveying a large number of complex and exciting ideas in a highly palatable form.
Thursday: The Power of Positive Thinking
2012 marks the sixtieth anniversary of The Power of Positive Thinking, the book by Norman Vincent Peale that (along with Dale Carnegie's How To Win Friends And Influence People) is arguably the progenitor of the modern genre of self-help. These days, its relentlessly bright, religion-tinged message is deeply controversial: the social critic Barbara Ehrenreich has argued that positive thinking was significantly to blame for the American subprime mortgage crisis, among other ills, and there's plenty of evidence to suggest that positive thinking is counterproductive. But as a historical document, it's fascinating, and crucial to understanding the origins of the modern-day "happiness industry".
