Enjoying The Quarry at the moment, and thought I'd share a little bit of description with you which I thought was rather good. The main character is stood on a bridge over the motorway, watching the traffic go by:
"I find the sound of the traffic soothing. This is a busy stretch of motorway with only two lanes in each direction and at most times of the day the noise is almost continuous, with cars and light vehicles tearing past on the steel-grey tarmac below, the laden trucks labouring slowly and the unladen ones thundering quick past underneath. Their engines create one wash of sound, their slipstreams a second and their tyres on the road surface another. It all makes a sort of throaty choir of white noise, roaring a long shout of nothing into the sky from the cutting through the land. Rain on the tarmac makes the tyres sound louder but softer at the same time."
