My current read is Luke Davies' God of Speed.
Davies is the author of Candy which became a movie starring Heath Ledger and Abbie Cornish. I attended a conversation with Davies at the Sydney Writers' Festival in May and was attracted to his honest and self effacing account of his drug addicted youth and his blossoming writing career.
In God of Speed, Davies delivers a fractured (drug induced?) first person narrative of reminiscences by the movie and industry mogul Howard Hughes.
I'm about two thirds of the way through the book and so far Hughes seems to have slept with every famous and quite a few wannabe famous actresses of his day. And David Duchovny thinks that he's a sex addict?
